For millenniums, the olive tree has characterised Portugal.
The quality of olive oil is mostly influenced by the many attributes of the region where it is produced.
A Mediterranean climate and the quality of the soil (terroir) directly affect the genetical characteristics of the olive tree (as much as wine and vineyards).

4th European producer and 8th world producer of olive oil, Portugal account for more than 20,000 producers.
Far from the intensive farming of standardised oil, these human-sized productions can guarantee the diversity and singularity of their olive oil. As a matter of fact, several Portuguese producers receive international awards every year.

It is therefore with passion and cares that Thierry and Isabelle select their products, anxious to introduce you to exceptional natural products, respectful of mankind and the environment.
Because it is always better to know where it comes from !

Go on a discovery tour of 7 AOP (PDO) regions which produce olive oil :

The oils of the north: a mountainous area with different seasons, the oils are intense, sweet, slightly bitter and spicy.

1. Trás-os-Montes
2. Beira Alta
3. Beira Baixa
4. Ribatejo

One exception from the north, a non-DOP region but it offers all the characteristics of a superior quality ‘ terroir’: Douro

The oils from the south : resulting from plains with an arid climate, the oils are mellow, thick and fruity.

5. Norte Alentejo
6. Alentejo Interior
7. Moura

Again, one quirk in the south, a non-DOP region but it also gives all the peculiarities of a superior quality ‘ terroir’: Algarve

Olive oil is celebrated since the antiquity, mostly for its flavours but also for its medical and cosmetic properties.
Rich in antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids, it contributes to the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular diseases and ageing.
It is an essential part of the ‘Cretan’ or ‘Mediterranean’ diet and has contributed to the recognition of its benefits.  All those unique qualities have prompted the expansion of olive oil all over the world.

With Portuguese olive oils eating healthily and pleasantly is simple.
