In Serra da Estrela, the production of olives and olive oil is an art that dates back centuries and is deeply linked to the region's landscape and climate. The olive trees, planted on steep slopes and exposed to the sun, grow quality fruit that benefits from the unique conditions of the mountains - poor soils and a harsh climate, which give the local olive oils a fruity, balanced and slightly spicy flavour. The region's producers follow traditional cultivation and extraction methods, favouring manual harvesting and cold milling to preserve the oil's organoleptic qualities. The result is a high-quality extra virgin olive oil, rich in antioxidants and with an authentic flavour that reflects the character of Serra da Estrela. Olive oil production in the region is an example of how tradition and sustainability come together to offer a product of excellence, symbolising the deep connection between nature and the mountain people.
