About / Testimonials

Extra virgin olive oil from family-owned farms, such as this one near Kalamata, Greece.

What Our Customers Say

“Something of a nectar”

It took me some time to open my order. I tried it for the first time with warm, baked, multigrain bread. Mixed with a touch of balsamic vinegar and a bit of garlic, and some aged Swiss; it was divine. The richness of the flavor was notable. So much so that my next taste (two shameful hours later) was just with the bread and olive oil. I can honestly say I have not had any olive oil that rivals it. I look forward to integrating it into a pasta dish or a salad. I thought it wasn’t going to be that big of a difference. But it is something of a nectar. I’ll buy more after my giant tin is used up.

“Stayed in my taste buds for years”

I would love to order 5 liters of this fantastic oil that has remained in my taste buds even after 8 years!  Thank you!

“Highly recommend it!”

From the first time I tried out Ladi Malapani, I could easily see the difference in quality compared to extra virgin you can get in most stores around my area, and for such an amazing value as well. Tasting it standalone, it has a very well-bodied feel. I can taste the Kalamata olives with tones of artichoke and freshly-cut grass. I pretty much use it in most of my cooking these days. Would highly recommend it!

Ben Young
Ballston Spa, NY


“Thank you”

Thank you for making this oil available. My brother-in-law and my sister, who have spent time in Mani (near Kalamata, Greece), LOVE IT. As do my friends Ira and Elizabeth, who buy it by the can and use nothing else.

“Best olive oil in the world”

I used to buy Sicilian olive oil from fancy supermarkets. It was too expensive. And no comparison in the consistency of quality and taste. Ladi Malapani provides the best olive oil in the world!
Maria Pesquera
Newburgh, NY


“Superior to all!”

We are currently in Athens, Greece. Many people here have said the best olive oil comes from Kalamata. I smile because I know it is the best and Ladi Malapani is superior to all!

“I suggest you buy it”

I was raised near Napa Valley, CA, and absorbed everything I could about food and flavor. In 2003, I graduated valedictorian from Le Cordon Bleu [College of Culinary Arts]. I am absolutely in love with Ladi Malapani olive oil. The first press of a very high-quality olive from Kalamata, Greece, this olive oil embodies everything a top-notch oil should.  Its floral notes and round mouthfeel leaves nothing to be desired. With a high smoke point for an olive oil, sautéing with it is a pleasure. America rarely has a chance to enjoy such an oil. If you have the opportunity to buy it, I suggest you do.

“Thanks for the deal!”

I used it to make French toast. It’s great. Thanks for the deal and for the premium olive oil.

The color, scent, and flavor of this olive oil is the most full, fresh, and rich I have ever experienced. This is without question the best olive oil money can buy.

“Definitely tastier”

We were able to do a comparison taste of your oil and another oil from the same region of Greece. Although not as clear as the other oil, yours was definitely tastier. We think it is an excellent olive oil.

“Magnificent”

I live in the Bay Area and have access to, what I thought, was some good olive oil. This is before I tried Ladi Malapani and absolutely loved it! I have been consuming it (and sometimes almost drinking it) for the past 3 years. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to truly try some magnificent and memorable flavor.

“I use your olive oil ever day”

I use your olive oil basically every day in some form or another. I absolutely just love it! I have given it to my daughter in laws, nieces, friends — especially those I know will appreciate the quality and the incredible difference in what real quality olive oil should taste like. Now that I know you offer the olives, I can’t wait to make a Greek salad with the Kalamata olives and your oil! Thank you, and thank you to Margaret Dauber for introducing me to Ladi Malapani!
Debbie Neal

“You don’t get used to it”

Malapani olives are like the difference between boiled and expertly roasted Brussels sprouts—not in the same universe!
If you already like good olives, get ready for another level of creaminess and taste.

Here’s what I discovered about Ladi Malapani olive oil: you don’t get used to it. As you use it in different ways its flavor keeps surprising you.

Duane Stilwell
Phoenix, AZ


“So delicious!”

The olive oil I ordered in the 5-liter can is wonderful. It’s earthy. It smells of fresh olives. It’s a perfect match with my sour dough slice at dinner. It’s also perfect for cooking an omelet in; it gives the eggs so much more flavor than butter I usually use. I have drenched lettuce, mozzarella, and tomatoes with it. I basically use it whenever and wherever I can. It is so delicious!

Margaret Dauber
Hope Hull, AL


“It sells itself!”

Your oil is amazing. I had no idea I would go through it so quickly, but it is so wonderful I’m using it nonstop. Love, love, love it!!… My brother-in-law enjoyed the oil while visiting with us and put in an order for himself. It’s easy to spread the word about your olive oil. It sells itself.

“I also use it on my skin”

This olive oil is the best I’ve had in a while! Not only do it use it to cook, I also use it on my skin.

“Deep and mellow”

I bought the 1-ltr bottle just to try it out. When my wife tasted it she said: ‘This is fantastic! The taste is much more complex than our normal olive oil. It’s warm and rich, mellow and deep.’ Then she made me buy the 5-ltr can right away. I plan to give small jars as presents to all my relatives

“Το λάδι είναι Θαύμα!”

Oh my gosh. Το λάδι είναι Θαύμα [the oil is miraculous]! Perhaps the smoothest olive oil I’ve ever tasted outside of Greece. And filled with deep, rich, fresh flavor. Thank you for making it all so easy. I’m so glad to have made this connection!

Sandra Polizos

“How olive oil should be”

LADI MALAPANI is hands down the best olive oil I have ever used. Not only is the oil smooth, rich, flavorful, and fragrant, but knowing the source and traditional method by which it was produced adds a whole new dimension to it. It’s how olive oil should be.

Nicholas Stokes

“My pesto delicious with your oil”
