DESCRIPTION
Protected Designation of Origin olive oil: Azeite de Moura, the oldest and most reputable denomination in Portugal.
Azeite de Moura DOP is the jewel in the crown of the Cooperativa Agrícola de Moura e Barrancos and is, in its own right, one of the most valuable pieces of national olive oil heritage.
Founded in 1954, the Cooperativa Agrícola de Moura e Barrancos emerged with the main mission of providing a competitive response to the extraction of olive oil from the olives produced by its founders.
To begin this process, a small press was purchased, which, over time, proved to be insufficient due to the growing number of new cooperators. As a result, it was necessary to expand by purchasing a new press with greater capacity.
In 1987, the Cooperative needed to increase its working capacity once again, making its third acquisition, this time from Sociedade dos Azeites de Moura, which at the time had a more modern mill with a milling capacity of around 230 tons of olives per day.
Subsequent investments transformed the Cooperative into the largest olive cooperative in the country, with the largest and most modern mill, with a daily milling capacity of 1,800 tons of olives.
This capacity allows for an average annual production of more than 6,000 tons of olives, from 2,200 hectares of olive groves, from 1,300 cooperators, transforming it into more than 7 million kilos of virgin olive oil each season.

OLIVE VARIETIES: Cordovil, Galega & Verdeal.

EXTRACTION PROCESS
Superior category olive oil obtained directly from olives solely through mechanical processes.

SERVING
This is an extremely versatile oil in the kitchen, adapting easily to a wide range of dishes.
