Featuring the oil of Armando Mansur

Armando Mansur and Field Reichardt, President of The Organic Olive Oil Company , in Mendoza, Argentina.

The olive oils produced from Armando Mansur’s olive trees, near the foothills of the Andes, in Mendoza are some of the greatest organic extra virgin olive oils produced anywhere in the world.

Armando’s grandparents were immigrants to Argentina in the last years of the 19th Century – his father came from Syria, and his mother from Sicily.

Farmers from the old world, they brought their work habits and dreams to Argentina. Because of their diligence and drive, their family has prospered.

For decades, the Mansurs have been recognized for growing exceptional quality foods, and wines. But it was not until the 1986 that they found their passion and began to produce great olive oil. In 1995, sensing a need for higher quality, more natural products, Armando converted their production to organic methods, and today the result is magnificent!

The oil is light to medium in body, very fresh tasting and wonderful with salads and light meats.

The Organic Olive Oil introduced the Mansur oil in the spring of 2004. At our first promotion of the oil, at the famous Dorothy Lane Stores in Dayton Ohio, this fine oil was extremely popular for the hundreds of consumers who tried it. And it continues to be a top seller!
