Quinta de Lemos has an olive grove of 7 hectares with approximately 2500 olive trees.
Like the vineyards, the olive grove is also treated within an integrated protection programme, thus maintaining respect for the environment.
The olive picking is done manually, it is carefully harvested and processed in a maximum period of 24 hours, thus preserving maximum freshness and quality.

A typically Portuguese variety with a cylindrical shape and an intense black color, it is characterized by having some decay on its surface. IT IS the most difficult variety to harvest as it has a very pronounced peduncle similar to the olive tree. The trees grow on slopes located between 350-400 meters in altitude. In order to maintain respect for nature, all our treatments are duly controlled and within the integrated protection regime. Harvesting is done manually in small olive trees, in larger ones vibrating devices are used that do not damage or break the olive wood.

The harvested olives are selected on the ground and placed in boxes that are then sent to the mill. The extraction takes place within the next 24 hours after picking by mechanical processes at low temperatures (less than 30°C). IT IS continuous extraction in a 2-stage mill, the decanting process takes approximately 2 months.

Owner of thicker oils in the mouth, it presents a light fruity. On the nose there are brief hints of green apple.
