This organic extra virgin olive oil is crafted from Galega olives, semi-manually harvested from 70-year-old traditional groves in Alentejo, Portugal, and cold-extracted to preserve quality. It offers a soft, velvety palate with moderate bitterness and a persistent spicy finish, featuring notes of almond and ripe apple. Ideal for finishing Mediterranean dishes such as fresh salads, grilled fish, and roasted vegetables, or for enhancing traditional Alentejo soups and artisan bread.

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

The oil records certification to an organic production standard.

Why choose it

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

Worth knowing
