Exclusive Happy Guadiana
Olive oil process
We provide an immersive experience that takes you from the traditional olive harvest to the transformation of this raw material in our modern mill, culminating in a tasting of fresh olive oils. The activity includes a guided tour of the olive grove, participation in the harvest, monitoring the olive oil production process and a guided tasting of our products, allowing you to experience each stage of olive oil production.
Olive Harvesting
Olive harvesting is a tradition deeply rooted in Portuguese culture, especially in the Ribatejo and Alentejo regions. During this period, which occurs between October and January, families and communities gather in the olive groves to harvest the fruits that will produce olive oil, an essential ingredient in Portuguese cuisine.
Lecture
In our talk about olives, we will explore their history and cultural importance, demonstrate traditional harvesting techniques, present the process of transforming olives into olive oil, conduct a tasting of different olive oils to enhance the palate, and promote interactive activities that involve participants in practical learning about the olive oil cycle.
Lunch
The typical Alentejo lunch is a celebration of the simplicity and gastronomic richness of the region, standing out for the use of local ingredients and intense flavors.
Visit to the wine press
At this stage of the visit to the mill we will observe where the olives are transformed into olive oil, going through stages such as reception, cleaning, grinding, beating, extraction and storage, ensuring a high quality product.
