In the year 2000 Greek Tv/Film Director Manousos Manousakis and his family made a firm decision to revive a unique olive grove situated at the foot of Mount Parnonas, in the historic village of Sellasia, situated near Sparta, Greece.
Chemical intensive farming is no longer acceptable. We all know that rampant pesticide use, soil depletion and genetic homogenization of crops threaten the water we drink and the land we and others depend on for food and habitat. For the Manousakis family estate, organic sustainable agriculture is the only realistic and necessary alternative to those practices. After years of uninterrupted devotion our product has reached the top quality we were seeking, therefore we can now proudly share it with our friends.
