Unhurried, at Herdade Aldeia de Cima, we cultivate and care for ancient olive trees, living witnesses to the resilience of Portuguese olive varieties and a deeply rooted olive-growing tradition in the Alentejo.
At Horta dos Fontanários, a thousand-year-old olive grove spanning 1.25 hectares, with 85 olive trees and two wild olive trees, preserves the memory of an ancestral landscape. At Monte do Bugano, five hectares of century-old Galega olive trees coexist with approximately 34 hectares of traditional olive groves, where the local Galega, Cordovil and Cobrançosa varieties are cultivated.
From Olival do Monte comes Galega Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced from a traditional olive grove deeply rooted in the landscape of the Serra do Mendro.
A historic and emblematic variety of the Alentejo, Galega reveals a delicate and distinctive expression here: an olive oil with an enveloping texture, lingering smoothness, and remarkable aromatic harmony. Between the serenity of the altitude and the unhurried rhythm of the traditional olive grove, a subtle and timeless profile takes shape, where the memory of the land is revealed with authenticity and balance.
From Olival do Montado comes Cordovil Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced from a traditional olive grove shaped by the rugged and deeply Mediterranean landscape of the Serra do Mendro.
The intensity and expressive character of the Cordovil variety give rise to an olive oil with a distinctive aromatic profile and remarkable persistence, where green notes and wild nuances come together in a rich and sophisticated structure. Under the influence of the dry climate and altitude, a unique and authentic profile emerges, deeply rooted in the identity of Olival do Montado.
