It is in the Douro Superior, in Vila Nova de Foz Côa, lands of altitude, that this nectar is produced, exclusively from the family properties, namely in Castelo Melhor, on the way to the Rupestres Engravings of Penascosa, near the mouth of the Côa river.

With a usual acidity of 0.1 / 0.2 and a complex and harmonious flavor. This characteristic is due to the harvest being made at the right time, tending earlier than usual (mid / late October), giving the oil bitter and spicy notes, characteristic of the region. For this, the olives should be presented at the ideal point of maturation, resulting in pure juice, ie extra virgin olive oil, without any type of defect.
In these high-altitude lands of the Douro Superior, a “traditional olive grove” without irrigation, of centuries-old olive trees, with 100% natural agricultural practices, certified organic, the "olive picking" is done entirely by hand.
Being extracted cold, the result is excellent, since the intention is not to produce more and more, but to produce better and better.
