Product Details

Regeneratively farmed. High in polyphenols. Very small batch.

*25 bottles for our subscribers only. 1 bottle per order.*

Introducing a multi-award winning single estate extra virgin olive oil from the Alto Alentejo wine region of Portugal. This oil is made one of the most inspiring producers we've ever met, Ana Cardoso, on her 10 hector plot, where she farms *and* mills award-winning oils herself.

This harvest is now in a 375ml bottle since it's a limited batch and is best used as a finishing EVOO to keep the high level of antioxidants and peppery flavour intact.

Harvest: November 2022.

Variety: Cobrançosa.

Origin: Fronteira, Alto Alentejo, Portugal.

Process: Superior category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never chemical or heated) means. ≤ 0.2 acidity. The olives are milled within hours of being picked. This oil is filtered.

Agriculture: Organically-farmed with regenerative practices including grazing animals and a focus on biodiversity.

Soil type: Clay loam.
This oil is superbly made by Ana Cardoso and Paolo Morosi.

Ana is one of those rare finds in the EVOO industry—a thoughtful farmer and a meticulous miller. This superhero skillset has landed her the following awards for her very first harvest doing it all:

⭐️ Silver Award at the 2022 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition (USA)
⭐️ Silver at the 2022 Berlin GOOA (Germany)
⭐️ Silver Medal at the 2022 EVO IOOC (Italy)
⭐️ Silver at the Amsterdam AIOOC 2022 (Netherlands)
⭐️ Silver at the Olive Japan 2022 (Japan)
