Discover the Origins and Identity of the Ingredients

The PACK 3 Olive Oils with Peppers – Christmas Tree Edition is born in the heart of Alentejo, where olive oil is more than a product — it is culture, memory, and a symbol of Portuguese identity. Among vast olive groves and golden plains, extra virgin olive oil is produced with dedication and respect for the land, preserving knowledge passed down from generation to generation.

Here, tradition meets innovation: olives from the Cobrançosa and Galega varieties are hand-picked and cold-pressed, resulting in balanced oils rich in aroma and authenticity. They form the perfect base for the three flavors of this pack — with green peppercorns, black peppercorns, and chilli — which embody the bold and genuine character of Alentejo in harmony with the intensity of the spices.

Alentejo: The Olive-Growing Heart of Portugal

Alentejo is the largest olive oil–producing region in Portugal and one of the most emblematic territories of Portuguese olive cultivation. Its Mediterranean climate, marked by long sunny summers, creates the ideal conditions for developing dense, aromatic olives. The poor, well-drained soils compel the olive trees to grow deep roots, producing rich fruits and olive oils with a complex sensory profile.

Every drop is the result of harmony between nature and human expertise: careful hand harvesting, immediate milling, and cold extraction in modern mills preserve the natural aromas and antioxidants. The result is a smooth-textured olive oil with herbal notes and a persistent finish — an authentic reflection of Alentejo and its people.

The Native Varieties: Cobrançosa and Galega

The character of the oils in this pack arises from the perfect combination of the Cobrançosa and Galega varieties. Both native to Portugal, they complement each other in balance and elegance, expressing the best of Alentejo tradition.

• Cobrançosa: A robust variety rich in polyphenols, it offers an intense and fruity olive oil with notes of cut grass, olive leaf, and artichoke. It provides structure and depth, especially enhancing the profiles of the black peppercorn and chilli olive oils.
• Galega: One of the oldest Portuguese cultivars, known for its smoothness and sweetness. It produces light, delicate olive oils with hints of apple and nuts, balancing the bitterness of Cobrançosa. It is the perfect base for the green peppercorn olive oil, adding harmony and elegance to the blend.

From this fusion is born a balanced and versatile extra virgin olive oil that serves as the stage for the heat and freshness of the peppers, creating a deeply Portuguese tasting experience.

The Millenary Legacy of Olive Oil in Portugal

The history of olive oil in Portugal goes back more than three millennia. Introduced by the Phoenicians and Romans, the olive tree found its ideal habitat in the Alentejo lands. Since then, olive oil has become part of the country's culture, economy, and gastronomy. For centuries, it illuminated homes, seasoned dishes, and united families around the table.

Today, Portugal is recognized worldwide for the excellence of its extra virgin olive oils, celebrated for their purity, sensory profile, and sustainability. Alentejo, in particular, has become an international reference, combining modern technology with the ancestral wisdom of its olive growers. This pack is therefore the heir to that tradition — a bridge between the past and the future of Portuguese olive oil.

Olive Oil as an Expression of Portugal

More than just an ingredient, olive oil is a living part of Portuguese identity. It represents the balance between land and people, nature and culture. In every bottle, a piece of the country’s history is preserved — the dedication of its producers, the respect for nature, and the love for gastronomy.

Choosing extra virgin olive oil from Alentejo is to celebrate a heritage with deep roots. It means choosing authenticity, flavor, and quality that transcend generations. This PACK 3 Olive Oils with Peppers – Christmas Tree Edition is the expression of that heritage: a gift that combines tradition, elegance, and the Portuguese soul — perfect for sharing during the festive season.
