Seven Olea: The Vision of Manos Kokkinelis – Crete in Every Drop

At the heart of Sette Olea is Manos Kokkinelis, a passionate Cretan olive oil producer dedicated to preserving his island’s heritage while crafting a product of unmatched quality and authenticity.

From Cretan Soil to Your Table

Raised among olive groves on Crete, Manos has always felt a profound bond with the land. Inspired by centuries of family tradition, he founded Seven Olea to create exceptional extra virgin olive oil that honors both nature and lineage.

Utilizing sustainable farming practices, olives are hand-harvested at peak ripeness and cold-pressed shortly after picking. This method preserves their vibrant color, rich aroma, and potent nutritional compounds—resulting in olive oil that encapsulates the essence of Crete.

Philosophy in Every Bottle

For Manos Kokkinelis, Seven Olea is more than olive oil—it’s a narrative of place, passion, and responsibility. His approach emphasizes:

• Organic cultivation and environmental stewardship
• Timely harvest and cold extraction for ultimate freshness
• Full traceability, from grove to bottle
• Respect for tradition, combined with innovation

This unwavering dedication ensures each bottle is a true expression of his vision and Cretan terroir.

Recognition That Reflects Quality

Seven Olea’s excellence has been honored with Gold Member status in the Mediterrolio Olive Oil Network—a recognition of superior quality and Mediterranean authenticity. It’s a testament to Manos’s commitment to crafting olive oil that speaks for itself.
