Platana is born from the vision and dedication of families who has nurtured olive trees for generations in the fertile soil of the Peloponnese. These groves, located in the heart of Greece, are tended with the same care and respect as they have been for centuries. Each olive is harvested by hand to ensure the highest quality, and the cold-pressing process reflects a commitment to time-honoured methods.
The Manaki olives are at the core of Platana's exceptional flavour profile. Revered for their balanced notes, these olives thrive in the Mediterranean climate, nourished by the sun and the rich, mineral-laden earth. Platana’s makers are more than producers; they are stewards of the land, upholding the traditions of their ancestors while embracing sustainable practices to preserve this legacy for future generations.

In the villages of the Peloponnese, olive oil isn’t just an ingredient—it’s a way of life. Platana captures this spirit, where each drop of extra virgin olive oil brings authenticity and simplicity to every meal. Whether gathered around a rustic table with friends and family or preparing a meal with seasonal produce, olive oil is woven into the everyday rituals of these communities.
Here are a few authentic, delicious ways to enjoy Platana Extra Virgin Olive Oil:
Village-Style Drizzle: In the countryside, a fresh slice of rustic bread is often dipped in olive oil and sprinkled with salt or oregano. Let the flavour of Platana shine by drizzling it generously over bread or toasted pita for a simple, wholesome snack.
Salads From the Land: Greek village salads are made from just a handful of fresh ingredients—juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and tangy feta cheese—all brought together with a liberal splash of olive oil. Platana is perfect for this, enhancing the vibrant flavours of each ingredient with its fruity and peppery notes.
Cooking With Heart: From slow-roasted vegetables to sautéed greens, villagers use olive oil as a base for nourishing meals. Platana’s smooth, rich character adds depth to everything from roasted potatoes and vegetables to grilled fish and meats.
A Humble Finish: Even the simplest of dishes, like a bowl of beans or lentils, comes to life with a drizzle of olive oil. In rural kitchens, this finishing touch transforms everyday ingredients into a warm, satisfying meal.
Celebrate with Dips: Villagers often serve olive oil as a dipping sauce for bread at gatherings. Create your own platter with Platana as the centrepiece, complemented by olives, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lemon for an authentic, Greek-inspired spread.
Whether you're honouring the humble meals of the village or crafting your own culinary creations, Platana connects you to the rich, enduring traditions of Greece—one delicious drop at a time.
