Olive oil with an address.

One hundred and forty hectares of olive groves between Moura and Safara, three varieties, and a mill of our own since 1957. We bottle single-estate extra virgin — and every bottle can tell you which trees it came from.

The shop

Three oils, one single grove.

From the same grove, three readings: the everyday oil of the year, a robust lot for those who like to feel it, and an early pressing that ends when it ends. Sold straight from the mill — no middlemen.

How it tastes

The tasting wheel.

Before it becomes a label, the oil is tasted the way the official panel demands: blue glass, five axes, three oils. Tap one and compare.

Taste it like this

  1. The blue glass

    The official panel tastes from a blue glass, so colour cannot sway the verdict. At home any small glass will do: two fingers is plenty.

  2. Warm it in your hand

    Cover the glass with your palm and roll it in the other hand until it nears 28 °C. That is the temperature at which the aromas open.

  3. The slurp

    Draw the oil in with air, loudly and without shame. The burn in your throat is polyphenols — the sign of a living oil, not a flaw.

The estate

Three varieties, five parcels, one mill.

Herdade do Lagar Velho stretches across 140 hectares of schist and clay between Moura and Safara, inside the "Azeites de Moura" PDO. Each variety has its role — and its own ground.

Galega

the sweet soul

The Portuguese variety par excellence. It gives a golden, gentle oil of almond and ripe apple — the backbone of our Colheita, as it was in grandfather’s day.

74 ha

Cobrançosa

the backbone

Structure, elegant bitterness and a pungency that warms the throat. It is what holds the Robusto together and gives our keeping lots their years.

44 ha

Verdeal Alentejana

the living green

Picked early, still green, it brings leaf, fresh-cut grass and a cool finish. There is little of it — but it is what makes the Primeira Prensa sing.

22 ha

The 1957 mill

“What waits, oxidises.”

My grandfather Joaquim used to take his olives to the village mill and always came home with the same complaint: the queue. Olives sitting in sacks are oil going to waste. In 1957 he sold two yokes of oxen, bought a press in Elvas and set it up in the barn. From that day on, this house’s olives never waited again.

Today the press is a continuous two-phase line and stainless steel has taken the place of stone — but his rule is still hand-painted on the wall: no olive waits more than three hours. In the 2025 harvest, the average was two hours and forty minutes.

The year at the mill

Twelve months around a tree.

Olive oil is made all year long: the January pruning decides the November harvest. The wheel marks where we are today.
