We traded the city for the countryside, and now we host our workshop at home, in Alvados – Porto de Mós, in an intimate and relaxed setting surrounded by nature’s tranquility.

​

In this workshop, we will guide you on a sensory journey through the world of extra virgin olive oil. We will explain the production process, from harvesting the olives to the mill, and reveal the essential care needed to obtain high-quality olive oil. You will also learn how to properly read labels, ensuring you always make informed choices.

​

We will explore the different categories of olive oil – Extra Virgin, Virgin, and Refined – and conduct a technical tasting of 5 award-winning Portuguese extra virgin olive oils, produced by small, high-quality producers. To contrast, we will also taste 1 virgin or refined olive oil to understand their differences.

​

The tasting is done in a cup, just like in professional competitions, or enjoyed with delicious homemade bread, artisanally prepared by my wife. Discover aromas such as ripe tomato or fresh grass, and experience the balance of bitterness, spiciness, and the natural sweetness of olives. At the end, we will have a special tasting of flavored olive oils for an even richer and more surprising experience.

​

If you wish, you can purchase the oils you’ve tasted and take home a little piece of this journey through Portugal’s flavors.

​

Take advantage of your visit to explore not only Alvados but also Fátima, the Batalha Monastery, or the giant waves of Nazaré.
