Quinta Mourisca do Alendouro - Azeite Virgem Extra BIO Negrinha do Freixo - 250ml

Sale price€10,80

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout


A cold-extracted olive oil made exclusively from green olives of the rare Negrinha do Freixo variety, grown organically in the rugged terrain of Trás-os-Montes. These olives, known for their resilience to poor soils and dry conditions, are harvested and processed mechanically at the nearby Lagar de Chacim, just fifteen minutes from the estate’s groves. The oil is manually bottled, with labels designed by j.cub, reflecting the artisanal spirit of the project. On tasting, it reveals a bold and balanced profile, marked by pronounced fruitiness, a noticeable bitterness, and a lingering peppery finish. This olive oil is ideal for those seeking a green, character-rich expression that elevates both raw and cooked dishes.

Quinta Mourisca do Alendouro

Quinta Mourisca do Alendouro is a family-based project located in Trás-os-Montes, Portugal. The brand emphasizes connecting people with the beauty of the country's roots through its products.

Viticulture is part of Quinta Mourisca's activities, though the search results focus more on their olive oil production. The region of Trás-os-Montes, known for its rugged landscapes, supports diverse agricultural activities, including vineyards. While specific grape varieties aren't detailed, the region's climate and soil contribute to unique wine characteristics.

Trás-os-Montes, situated behind mountains, presents a rural landscape. This region has a varied topography and climate, divided into "Cold Land" and "Hot Land" sub-regions. The "Hot Land," where Quinta Mourisca is located, is more suited to Mediterranean crops like olives and grapes.

Quinta Mourisca is committed to sustainable practices. They focus on minimizing food miles by using locally grown produce. Their olive oil production is certified organic, and some products have a Protected Designation of Origin (D.O.P.) from Trás-os-Montes. A recent event highlighted the region's exceptional olive groves and sustainable practices. Diana Costa, from Quinta da Mourisca, has been awarded for her efforts to revitalize the region through organic food production.
