Amor é Cego Galega Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a premium product from Portugal's Alentejo region, crafted exclusively from 100% Galega olives. Hand-picked and cold-extracted on the day of harvest, it offers a balanced and harmonious flavour with mature fruitiness, notes of tomato and dried fruit, and a slightly spicy finish. Produced from a 72-year-old dryland grove, this oil reflects a commitment to traditional, low-yield cultivation. Its high quality and distinct profile make it ideal for savouring with fresh foods or as a finishing touch.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Product informationHarvest date disclosed
Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Azaruja, Alentejo, Portugal, giving it a specific farm origin.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originAzaruja, Alentejo, PortugalSingle estate
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being harvested manually.

Why choose it

These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.

Worth knowing

They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.

Product informationHand picked
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Galega as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.

Release dataGalega
Farming & certification

Growing choices

The grove is listed as relying on rainfall rather than routine irrigation.

Why choose it

Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.

Worth knowing

Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
