The Origin: Traditional Olive Oil from Trás-os-Montes

These condiments are based on Olive Oil from Vila Flor, Trás-os-Montes, a region where olive oil production follows the rhythm of the seasons and the wisdom of generations. Olive groves grow on terraced hillsides, hand-harvested, and processed in traditional mills that preserve the purity of the product.

In Vila Flor, the climate is harsh and the soil is rocky – ideal conditions for the concentration of polyphenols and aromatic compounds in the olives. Cold extraction is performed immediately after harvest, without refining, preserving both aroma and nutrients. The result is premium extra virgin olive oils with acidity below 0.3%, authentic flavor, and high oxidative stability.

These oils embody the essence of Portuguese olive oil: intense, fresh, balanced, and internationally recognized for their deep connection to terroir. Every drop reflects the land’s character – pure, honest, and uncompromising.

Olive Varieties: Identity Begins with the Fruit

The sensory profile of these condiments comes from a blend of three native Portuguese olive varieties grown in Trás-os-Montes:

• Madural (Negral): A rare variety adapted to extreme climates, producing a smooth, golden oil with sweet, elegant notes.
• Cobrançosa: Rich in polyphenols, with green aromas and notes of cut grass, apple, and almond. Balanced and naturally resilient.
• Verdeal Transmontana: A bold variety with persistent bitterness and aromatic complexity – ideal for refined palates.

Portuguese Olive Oil Tradition: More Than Flavor

Olive oil is one of the pillars of Portuguese gastronomy. Cultivated since Roman times in both the Alentejo and Trás-os-Montes, it plays a role in family rituals, iconic dishes, and acts of sharing.

It is the foundation of the Mediterranean diet, adding flavor to migas, soups, codfish, meats, and even convent desserts. In many villages, tasting the new season’s olive oil with cornbread (broa de milho) is a ritual that brings generations together and celebrates the harvest.

This PACK honors that tradition through co-extraction during milling, a technique that infuses natural ingredients directly into the oil during production. The result is intense, pure, and authentically Portuguese condiments – where innovation remains rooted in origin.

The Essence of Portuguese Olive Oil

The PACK 3 Extra Virgin Olive Oil Condiments originates in Trás-os-Montes, the cradle of traditional Portuguese olive oil and a region with a centuries-old olive oil tradition. More than just a condiment, each tube holds the knowledge of generations, the strength of the land, and the soul of Portuguese gastronomy.

Here, artisan extra virgin olive oil is produced using ancestral methods, respecting nature, seasonal cycles, and cultural identity. These oils authentically represent the best of what Portugal has to offer.

From its harsh climate to ancient olive groves, every drop carries the essence of the land.

Trás-os-Montes: A Land of Soulful Olive Oil

In northeastern Portugal, among mountains, terraces, and deep valleys, lies Trás-os-Montes – one of the most renowned regions for producing Portuguese extra virgin olive oil. With a harsh continental climate of hot summers and cold winters, olive trees grow slowly, concentrating flavor and strength.

The rocky, low-nutrient soils boost the concentration of aromatic compounds in the fruit, producing dense, rich, and complex olive oils. The groves, many of them centuries old, grow on terraced slopes far from intensive mechanization, in harmony with the landscape and local wisdom.

This region is home to some of the finest olive oils in Portugal – a guarantee of origin, authenticity, and exceptional quality, recognized both nationally and internationally.

Artisan Production and Cold Extraction

The base of this PACK is extra virgin olive oil, crafted through artisan and sustainable methods. Olives are handpicked to preserve their integrity and are processed within 24 hours to avoid fermentation and oxidation.

Cold extraction is performed below 27°C, without refining, preserving the nutritional and organoleptic properties of the oil. The result is a product rich in polyphenols, natural antioxidants that support stability and health benefits.

The oils are then naturally filtered or decanted, ensuring a pure sensory profile true to the Portuguese terroir. This dedication to quality makes them truly special – a perfect addition to an authentic Portuguese souvenir.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Proven Quality

According to EU regulations, extra virgin olive oil is the highest possible classification. It must have ≤ 0.8% acidity and no sensory defects – aroma, flavor, and texture must be perfectly balanced.

This PACK’s condiments present acidity levels below 0.3%, the result of early harvesting, healthy fruit, and impeccable extraction technique. These values confirm a premium-quality olive oil, fresh, balanced, and perfect for raw tasting.

Its smooth texture, bold fruitiness, and lingering finish confirm its status as a genuine Portuguese olive oil, crafted with care and precision – a true ambassador of our cuisine.

Traditional Terrace Harvesting

The olive groves of Vila Flor, where the oils in this PACK are produced, stretch across terraced slopes that resist mechanization. Here, human labor still leads: harvesting is done with cloths and sticks, one olive at a time, in the old-fashioned way.

This ancestral method preserves the fruit’s integrity and ensures strict quality control. Each movement is part of a knowledge passed down through generations, deeply rooted in the seasons and rural Portuguese identity.

Harvesting takes place between October and December – the ideal time, when olives reach peak maturity and offer their best aromatic expression.

Olive Varieties That Shape Identity

Madural (also known as Negral)

A native Trás-os-Montes variety adapted to the region’s extreme climate. This resilient tree yields fruit that produces smooth-textured, golden oil with sweet notes. A rare variety and symbol of authenticity and resilience.

Cobrançosa

One of Portugal’s most prestigious cultivars, especially rich in polyphenols, giving it high antioxidant capacity and long shelf life. Its profile is marked by fresh notes of cut grass, green apple, and almond. A balanced and elegant oil.

Verdeal de Trás-os-Montes

Dedicated exclusively to oil production, this variety offers an intense and persistent profile. Strong bitterness, green notes, and deep structure make it ideal for those who appreciate bold flavors – perfect with rustic bread or cornbread.

From Origin to Product: Authenticity in Every Drop

Each condiment tube in this PACK is the result of a short, transparent, and ethical supply chain. Production is carried out in small mills, respecting the environment, local communities, and ancestral Portuguese knowledge.

The flavor reflects the unique terroir of Trás-os-Montes: the climate, the soil, the olive tree, and the human touch. This is more than a product – it’s a way to preserve and share culture. A tribute to rural life, intangible heritage, and the uncompromising quality of Portuguese olive oil.

To gift or savor this PACK is to enjoy a symbolic, sensory, and cultural experience – a liquid memory made with soul.

Douro Orange: A Portuguese Citrus Treasure

Douro orange is an ancient fruit, introduced by the Arabs and cultivated for centuries along the fertile riverbanks of the region. With a sweet and intense flavor, this variety is harvested at just the right moment to ensure delicate aroma, vibrant color, and natural juiciness.

Although it doesn’t have a PGI, it is widely recognized as a traditional Portuguese product, prized for its superior quality. Its use in this oil represents the fusion between Douro citrus sweetness and the richness of Trás-os-Montes olive oil.

A fruity, aromatic, and well-balanced condiment, emotionally tied to a souvenir that tastes like Portugal.

Infusion Process: The Art of Co-Extraction

The condiments in this PACK are not flavored by later addition. Their flavor is obtained through a traditional co-extraction process during milling, where olives are ground together with natural ingredients: lemon, Douro orange, or cinnamon.

This method allows volatile compounds and essential oils from the ingredients to fully integrate into the olive oil, creating a harmonious, natural, and lasting flavor. Co-extraction preserves the identity of the oil and avoids artificial flavoring.

It’s an artisan, time-intensive process that respects the purity of the product and enhances the union of premium extra virgin olive oil and noble ingredients. A true tribute to Portuguese gastronomy and innovation.
