Armando Manni, the Italian filmmaker who founded MANNI in 2001, takes food very seriously. What started as a personal mission to create the best organic extra-virgin olive oil turned into a 20-year-long endeavor to produce the best premium organic extra-virgin olive oil on the market.

And his commitment to quality has paid off. Manni’s products are used by some of the world’s top chefs and food purveyors, including Michelin-starred restaurateurs like Thomas Keller (American chef of The French Laundry), Jean-Georges Vongerichsten (French chef of Jean-Georges restaurants), Heston Blumenthal (British celebrity chef and TV personality), and many more.
