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.

Small caliber and round variety, it has a purplish-green color. It has an average yield and a low level of polyphenols, being a variety more susceptible to oxidation. The oils obtained have a golden color. 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.

With a ripe fruity flavor, it has a herbaceous aroma and tomato vine. Very smooth oil on the nose, slight hint of banana peel.
