Discover the Origin and Soul of the Flavors

The PACK of 3 Olive Oils with Peppers – Colorful Christmas Trees Edition has its roots in the Alentejo region, where olive oil is more than just an ingredient: it is part of the history and cultural identity of Portugal. Among gentle hills and vast olive groves, an extra virgin olive oil is born — produced with respect for nature and knowledge passed down through generations, keeping the Alentejo family tradition alive.

The olives of the Cobrançosa and Galega varieties, carefully hand-picked and cold-pressed, give rise to balanced, intense, and silky-textured olive oils. These oils serve as the base for three unique combinations — with green pepper, chili, and black pepper — that unite the genuine flavor of Alentejo with the intensity of spices. A fusion that reflects both the creativity and warmth of the Portuguese spirit.

Alentejo: The Cradle of Portuguese Olive Oil

Alentejo is the region where Portuguese olive oil gains its body and character. Its long, sunny summers and mild winters create the perfect environment for the slow and aromatic ripening of olives. The dry, limestone-rich soil forces the olive trees to grow deep roots, producing concentrated fruits — rich and full of flavor.

Production follows traditional methods combined with sustainable practices: manual harvesting, immediate milling after picking, and cold extraction ensure the preservation of fruity notes, antioxidant compounds, and the natural purity of the olive oil. The result is an extra virgin olive oil with a green aroma and balanced taste — an authentic expression of the land and its people.

Portuguese Olive Varieties that Give the Oil Its Soul

The Cobrançosa and Galega varieties are two treasures of Portugal’s olive heritage. Together, they create the harmony and complexity that define the oils in this pack, combining intensity, elegance, and tradition.

• Cobrançosa: A vigorous and aromatic variety, known for its fruity and slightly spicy profile. It produces olive oils with fresh green notes, hints of cut grass, nuts, and bitter almond. It provides structure and body to the oils with chili and black pepper, standing out for its persistence and depth.
• Galega: A historic Portuguese variety, smooth and delicate, symbolizing the natural sweetness of Portuguese olive oil. It produces light and balanced oils, with hints of ripe apple and dried fruits. Its elegance softens the olive oil with green pepper, balancing the stronger notes of Cobrançosa.

From the union of these two varieties comes an exceptional extra virgin olive oil — balanced, aromatic, and capable of enhancing the vibrant character of the peppers. A tribute to agricultural know-how and the authenticity of Alentejo.

Olive Oil Tradition in Portugal

Olive oil has been part of Portugal since ancient times. Olive trees, introduced by Mediterranean civilizations, have perfectly adapted to Portuguese soil and climate. In Alentejo, they became an inseparable part of the landscape and rural life, shaping the rhythm of harvests and the flavor of traditional gastronomy.

Today, Portugal stands as a global reference in extra virgin olive oil production, preserving ancestral practices while integrating modern technology. Each bottle reflects the dedication of producers and the deep connection between people and land. The PACK of 3 Olive Oils with Peppers – Colorful Christmas Trees Edition carries this legacy, bringing centuries of tradition together in a gift full of flavor and identity.

Olive Oil: A National Heritage and Symbol

Olive oil is far more than a simple condiment: it’s a link between generations and a reflection of the Portuguese soul. It represents the connection between the land and labor, patience and the joy of sharing. In every drop, one feels the Alentejo — its sun, its silence, and its authentic character.

By choosing Portuguese extra virgin olive oil, you value a living heritage and a culture of authenticity. This PACK of 3 Olive Oils with Peppers – Colorful Christmas Trees Edition is the expression of that legacy: it combines flavor, art, and emotion, becoming a gift that celebrates Christmas and the pride of being Portuguese.
