Cultivated in the Alto-Alentejo interior region for centuries, the “Rainha Cláudia Verde” plum variety has acquired its own specificity, because of the ecological conditions of the region, which make it different from that produced in other regions. This perfect adaptation to the soils and climate of the region makes it possible, for example, to grow it practically without the use of pesticides, with most orchards in perfect ecological balance.

The name Rainha Claudia (Queen Cláudia) (1499-1524) was given to her in honor of the daughter of Anne of Brittany and Louis XII, the Duchess of Britannia, who became the first wife of King Francis I of France.

Lemon thyme is part of the mint family and is the leaf of a low-growing shrub. The leaves are tiny and greyish green, with a dry, delicate lemon scent. Its main nutrients are Calcium, Fiber, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Vitamins A, B6 and C. This aromatic herb is produced in organic production, in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, thus having a more intense aroma and flavour.

Red Pepper from Póvoa de Varzim in Northern Portugal.

“Galega” (Galician) olives from Beira Baixa, the prepared product, obtained from the Galega variety of the species Olea europaea L.

Production method: The fermentation of Galega olives from Beira Baixa PGI is carried out using the natural curing method, and the traditional fermentation process used, passed down through generations between local actors, allows for the highlighting of the characteristics of weight, color, salt content and slight aroma of wine, which distinguish it from its counterparts.

Unique traits: The climate and soil of the region, as well as the experience of the local populations, make Galega olive fromBeira Baixa PGI a product with unique characteristics.

Geographical area: The production of Galega olives from Beira Baixa PGI is limited to all parishes in the municipalities of Covilhã, Belmonte, Fundão, Penamacor, Idanha-a-Nova, Castelo Branco, Vila Velha de Ródão, Proença-a-Nova, Oleiros, Sertã, Vila de Rei and Mação, all in Portugal.

History: The cultivation of the olive tree is closely linked to the region of Beira Baixa, as evidenced in several historical records, which indicate that already in the early 16th century the olive grove was well established in the region, and in the vicinity of Castelo Branco there were already extensive olive groves. The Galega Olive from Beira Baixa, obtained through manufacturing processes and conservation techniques that have been passed on from generation to generation and that are maintained to this day, is considered a traditional product in this region, and has long occupied an important place both in the nutrition of its inhabitants and in the development of the local economy.
