Olive oil tasting in the shade of an olive tree

An ancient gastronomic experience in Alentejo

In Monte da Oliveira Velha, a few kilometers from Évora, the olives that give rise to “Amor é Cego” (Love is Blind in Portuguese) olive oil are born, which comes exclusively from the Galega variety, native to Portugal, from a 62-year-old rainfed olive grove, planted by his grandfather owners, and in organic production mode.

The age of the olive trees, in the family for three generations, varies between 67 and 2000 years, resulting in a high quality olive oil, very mild and slightly spicy at the end.

Come and taste this oil full of history and love!

PRICE: From 30€/pax
