Olive Oil
With its origins around 150 years ago, Lagar Camporez is owned and managed by the third family generation.
Located in the heart of “Serra de Sicó”, the central region of Portugal, it is the home of centenary olive trees bearing the “Galega” olive variety, also known as the “Portuguese Olive”.
A mystical flavour of olive oil is born by the family passion for olives combined with the unique microclimate of the “Serra de Sicó” and the ancient “Galega”.
Over three generations ago, the camporez family settled in this land when traveling from the north looking for warmer weather and a better soil to plant apple trees.
Legend tells they fell in love with the olive trees and decided to keep them.
As most olive trees were already there, no one knows how old they are but, with certainty, some olive trees have more than 100 years.
Although many are centenary the family maintains the tradition of planting a new olive tree for every new member of the family, making the youngest olive tree in the farm nearly 2 years old.
