"A dream between heaven and earth, inspired by time."
Our inspiration comes from our Patriarch, an olive tree dating back to 1640, which reminds us every day of the importance of resilience, authentic quality, and respect for the slow rhythms of nature.
That's why we produce our oils in the healthiest and most respectful way possible: we want Mantenera to be a tangible example of research, quality, and profound authenticity.

Mantenera Secolare is not just an oil, but a journey through the history of Italian olive growing. It is our prized Monovarietal Majatica Oil, produced entirely from olives of the native cultivar of the same name.
This unique oil comes from centuries-old olive groves (with trees over 100 years old), where harvesting and care are acts of love and tradition.
The result is an EVO Majatica Oil with an exceptionally delicate and refined profile:
Taste: Medium bitter and slightly pungent, balanced by a clean Green Fruity and sweet herbaceous notes.
Character: Majatica is a variety renowned for its dual purpose (table and oil), giving our extra virgin an unusual softness, while maintaining high nutritional standards.
Certified Commitment: Mantenera is a Slow Food Presidium
