Organic Unfiltered olive oil Trás-os-Montes, Portugal Quinta dos Olmais is a property belonging to the Gomes Alves, a 354 years old family whose past is tied since its beginning to both farming and Portuguese history. After the Portuguese Civil War (1828-1834) the family was awarded some land in northern Portugal and mandated to convert it to arable farmland. “Olmais” is the name of the place where the olive grove is, in a very old and magic part of our country, Vila Flor – a land of kings and farmers. Although these lands were the last to come into possession of the Gomes Alves family it is here where the family farming history is now happening. So when asked how do we do it, the answer it’s easy: – Centennial olive trees resting on the peaceful hillsides of Vila Flor combined with over 300 years of farming experience were just enough to created one of the world’s best olive oils.
