HISTORY We invite you to travel back to 1226, when in the Elvas region – a true paradise lost between plains and lands of olive trees -, the Alcobaça Monks, wise farmers with vast knowledge of good soils, settled here and started producing olive oil. It is in this region, ideal for the production of olive oil, under the influence of the Mediterranean weather, that the Ortigão Costa family produces Ouro d’Elvas olive oil, from clean and healthy olives, picked at the right moment, in order to maintain all of their aroma and flavor. It is here, on this estate, that the rich know-how of generations is passed on to the bottles that carry this precious nectar to the tables of good olive oil lovers, on a true homage to the genuine Alentejo flavor.
