Reviews
Our olive oil farm tour, given by a super nice gentleman and his wife, who does this in addition to their full-time teaching jobs. The farm was small but it was a pleasant drive in the Alentejo to reach it. Basically when we arrived we walked over to a couple olive tree with the couple and they told us all about their farm, how olives are processed, their vision for their brand of organic, high-quality oil, and he walked us right next to the neighbor's field of olive trees, which were not being grown in an organic way and explained to us the differences. I asked lots of questions and they were very patiently answered. We went in November, so there were still olives on the tree that we could see, but they were not harvesting them. After all the discussions and questions, we went to the porch, and tasted the olive oil, then they had bread we could dip it into. We had a nice chat while doing that, then left. We felt very welcomed and I'm so impressed with what they're doing as a "hobby." It was very enjoyable though and I definitely recommend! Quite interesting and the couple were so nice.
This is an amazing place! João explained us so much about olive oil and the production but we also talked about many other interesting things. It is a really relaxing atmosphere and an inspiring tour. The oil is sooo tasty!!! Highly recommended!!!
This is an amazing experience. “Love is blind” is not just an olive oil tasting, it is a story of passion, both for olive oil, but also for sustainability, Portugal and heritage. You are told a story which lasts two generations, and which we hope continues for much longer.
Simply unmissable! The service at the time of booking was a ten and the visit was incredible!!! It goes far beyond an ingredient, as it is a history and pure culture! We love João, very receptive and friendly!
