This olive oil comes from our orchard, is hand picked, cold pressed, virgin olive oil, is certified organic (SKAL) and comes from ancient trees.
The taste is smooth with a nice spicy addition at the end.
2 Liter Can Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil
It was March 2020, and it was time for something new... one more time turning our lives upside down, shaking them and seeing what comes out!
We wanted to return to a natural environment with clean water and clean air. Luckily we found this place and since February 2021 we have been living in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park in Portugal. Our farm is located in the valley of the Mondego River with a very special microclimate. It is fertile and spectacularly beautiful. We farm here organically and biodynamically, as it was once intended. Our olive trees, which are hundreds of years old, are fertilized by our Bordaleiras sheep, beautiful mountain sheep and typical of the Serra da Estrela mountains. The olive oil you now hold in your hands is 100% organic, hand-picked, full of love and cold-pressed. First pressing and harvested exclusively from our own trees. We hope that you will enjoy this olive oil as much as we enjoy our farm life every day. By purchasing this olive oil you not only receive a special quality product but you also support the biodiversity of the Mondego Valley. Thank you very much for your support! Visit quintaportela.com for more information about the farm and the options for staying with us.
*Oh, and before we forget something very important: the beautiful drawing of Irmão (Brother, our farm cat with the bright blue eyes, as blue as the sky here) was made by Samuel from Paris, a very talented artist and our first volunteer on the farm.
