Us

A story with deep roots

Our family business began generations ago in Kaliroi, a small village in the mountainous Peloponnese region of Greece. Our historic orchards, rich in olive trees and oregano, still thrive there today. In 1914, our grandfather, Nick Gotsis, immigrated to the United States, arrived at Ellis Island, and began farming across the country. He settled in Los Angeles in 1920 and eventually ventured to Sinaloa, Mexico, where he worked for an American company before establishing his own farming business in 1921.

An ancient tradition with technology of the third millennium

The ancient cycle for obtaining premium olive oil begins in our native olive groves in a climate as special as Greek history. We hand-select the Koroneiki olives and, less than eight hours after harvest, begin the high-tech cold-pressing process to extract the oil, preserving its quality, naturalness, flavor, color, nutrients, and high levels of polyphenols, the incredible natural antioxidants found in olives.

For over a century, our family has been growing and exporting vegetables to the U.S. Inspired by our frequent visits to Kaliroi, where we brought back Greek olive oil and produce that was always a hit with family and friends, we decided to launch Mánamu in 2019. We specialize in the distribution of Greek olive oil, olives, oregano, and sea salt.

We emphasize the freshness and unique flavors of our products and share our family's passion for promoting premium Greek products. Today, Manamu has built a loyal customer base that values the traditions and distinctive tastes of our beloved Greece.

Our vision combines tradition, evolution and excellence.

We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Our vision of excellence is anchored in the ancient traditions of our beloved Greece, our giants.

Focus on sustainability and quality

After milling, we pour the oil into stainless steel tanks until bottling, making this exceptional product available to those who appreciate culinary delights.
