BRAND O AMOR É CEGO®
The Portuguese brand O AMOR É CEGO® – Love is Blind – describes the passion for the land and the olive oil. The estate has been in the family of the owners for three generations – a huge commitment to preserving and nurturing it over the years. In 2015, the brand O AMOR É CEGO® took the first steps towards realizing the dream of producing olive oil from a small olive grove, planted by the grandfather of the family over sixty years ago. The olive grove is a 62-year-old dryland 12×12 plantation and the vegetal liquid is carefully extracted in its purest state. The olives are picked by hand, placed in 20-kilo boxes, and processed on day they are gathered in order to conserve all the properties of the oil. The old olive trees are looked after with great care, unhurriedly, while the brand O AMOR É CEGO® employ the best agricultural practices. The brand believes that despite the relatively low yield – 7 litres per 100 kg of olives – the final product is a unique olive oil of the highest quality. The brand O AMOR É CEGO® produces now 100% extra virgin Galega olive oil, 0.1% maximum acidity, extracted cold. It is a balanced and harmonious oil with all the features of the Galega olive variety – mature and fruity, with notes of tomato and dried fruit, and a slightly spicy finish.
