about the extra virgin olive oil

This terroir olive oil is delicate, floral, and elegant and is organically produced from Galega and Negrinha de Freixo olives at our Quinta das Murças grove.

  • The 2023 agricultural year was a hot one, with mild temperatures in the winter and high rainfall, which led to an increase in soil water reserves. The spring was also warm, which accelerated the olive tree’s growth cycle. The harvest took place during the months of October and November 2023.

  • After the harvest, the olives are received in boxes at the mill where extraction immediately begins. The fruit is rapidly ground in stone mills and then subject to slow, low temperature beating to separate the pulp from the oil, while preserving its aromas. A decanter removes the oil from the pomace before centrifugation discharges moisture and other impurities. Light filtering ensures all the flavors and aromas are retained for packaging.
