We are artisan producers of olive oil in the Eastern Algarve. Our olives are grown, the oil extracted and bottled here on the plantation in Moncarapacho.
There are 20 hectares of olive grove planted with the varieties Maçanilha, Cobrançosa, Verdeal and Picual.
We pick the olives by hand in autumn and immediately take them to our press which dates from “roman times”, where they are ground to paste in a granite stone mill. The oil is then extracted with state of the art modern equipment and stored in stainless steel containers until it is filtered and bottled.
The result is an olive oil of the highest quality: Monterosa Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
