We all know that olive oil is good for you; but did you know that the Mediterranean diet, high in olive oil of course, actually reduces the risk of cardia-vascular disease, liver disease and it reduces cholesterol. Olive oil is high in anti-oxidants, the Picual variety in particular has an enormous proportion of the anti-oxidant, oleic acid, 80%.
Not only is it good for you it tastes good too.
The olives are hand picked and pressed at 25°C less than 8 hours after picking at a family press about 15 minutes away.
Each can in the batch is individually numbered and dated. They are all extra virgin with an acidity of either 2.5 or 3.0%
The land and trees at Manna House have not seen pesticide, herbicide or fungicide for over ten years and the previous owners had cared for the land for well over 100 years.
We are on the land working with and loving the trees on a daily basis and the oil is made with care and love.
