Our olive oil derives its unique character from the elements it’s made from. Traceable to single trees on the untamed slopes of Mt. Foniskos, our oil is for the creators and raconteurs who live their truths. Looking for CBD Infused olive oil? Head here to purchase.
Manaki olives grow at a more leisurely pace and produce less fruit, a difference you can taste when compared to commercialized oils using Koroneiki and Arbequina olives.
We harvest each tree, one at a time, when they are ready, and not as a grove. This technique rewards our olive oil with unrivaled body, bouquet, and personality.
In the face of an industry rife with adultered and defective products, we’ve set out to hold ourselves to the highest standards. Quality and character reign over optimization.

Our Process
Picking olives is equal parts art as science, and is just as impactful to an oil’s final character as the growing season itself. Handpicking assures that only the finest olives are chosen and guarantees protection from destructive harvesting processes, eliminating the need for post collection recovery treatments.
The moment an olive is picked directly influences the flavor, nutritional value, and essence of the end product. That is why we harvest each tree individually, one at a time, when they are ready, and not as a grove. This single tree technique rewards our olive oil with unrivaled body, bouquet, and personality.
The harvest of unripened green olives, known as “Agourelaio”, facilitates maximum nutritional benefits and flavors. Harvesting this way guarantees maximum polyphenol content with near zero acidity, creating an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant oil your body can genuinely feel.
Tree to cask in under twelve hours certifies minimal olive degradation for the most aromatic, nourishing, freshest green oil possible. Living oil juiced fresh from the tree.
One cold crush is all it takes to extract the purest green oil possible. No heat, and certainly no carrier solvents ever come near our organic workshop. Just a thorough cleanse through fresh spring water, and raw pressure.
We package just like we farm, and process; by hand, and in small batches. Our single-tree method might not be cost efficient but it pledges the preservation of purity and assures acre specific origin.

Our Flourishing Ecosystem
Our ancient groves are rooted between the Argolic and Saronic Gulfs of the Mediterranean Sea in a transition zone between wild alpine forests, sandy rolling valleys, and the untamed slopes of Mount Foniskos. Timelessly standing proud at the edge of true nature gives our olives their distinctive wild character.
The Story of Phaedra
Our products are not grown on brick fenced estates or crisp white plantations but on previously neglected terrain in the mountains of Greece. We’ve been trusted with a gift from nature and it’s our responsibility to create beauty from this land on our own terms, just as Phaedra’s godmother did. We go forth with wild irreverence, so you may dare, create, and inspire next.
