Corinth, Greece — Corinto Olive Oil has been awarded a Gold at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for the Corinto Manaki Limited Edition brand.
Corinto Manaki Limited Edition is an extra virgin olive oil of medium intensity. Produced exclusively from Manaki olives in Greece, the oil is distinguished by herbaceous notes and fennel, rounded by ripe fruit character and a peach-like sweetness on the palate. Careful sourcing from Corinto Olive Oil’s own groves and local producers, combined with modern milling practices, is intended to preserve freshness and varietal expression.
Corinto Olive Oil produces premium extra virgin olive oil exclusively from Manaki olives, drawing on a century-long family experience with the cultivar. Building on that legacy, the producer has focused on pairing long-established knowledge of Manaki with contemporary production methods as it works with its own fruit and that of nearby growers.
The 2026 Gold continues a record of recognition at the NYIOOC for Corinto Olive Oil, which has earned three Gold Awards overall.
The NYIOOC Gold places Corinto Manaki Limited Edition among the world’s elite extra virgin olive oils. In the Olive Oil Times World Ranking, Corinto Olive Oil is ranked #28 in Greece, #90 in the Northern Hemisphere and #92 Worldwide.
