Olmais Tresval Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
From the award-winning House of Olmais comes Tresval, a cold pressed EVOO harvested from the freshest olives of the Portuguese countryside. Olive oil is the reason Olmais exists. Every year Olmais starts the harvest by picking olives from several parts all over the olive grove, tasting them and deciding where and when harvest starts. Using the least intrusive harvesting methods, these olives reach the mill six to eight hours after harvest where Tresval olive oil is cold pressed and stored in small batches before the final blends are made, all using the local Cobrancosa variety as a base.
Winner of over 40 awards, Olmais produces olive oils with robust green olive flavors full of herbaceous aromas, a tangy entry and a prolonged pungency. Olmais produces gastronomic examples of what a premium olive oil should be. Their much-awaited Tresval EVOO has all the amazing green profile characteristics of a pure and intense Portughese olive oil, making it perfect for drizzling over salads and fishes, or for cooking the finest dishes.
Quinta dos Olmais is an organic farm, located in the historic upper Douro region of Terra Quente, with olive trees organically grown on the hills and valleys of Vila Flor, a village of kings and farmers established as far back as 1286. Together with their younger olive trees planted some 30 years ago Olmais has a selection of centennial trees, of the Cobrançosa, Verdeal and Madural varieties unique to Portugal, from olives picked at an early harvest to make very rich, floral and complex extra virgin olive oil.
At Olmais there is a strong commitment to Nature, having their organic production already certified in Europe and the Americas. They took it a step further in their olive groves promoting wildlife-friendly farming methods with biodiversity corridors, no use of pesticides, minimal interventions during the year, providing wildlife with watering holes during the dry season, harvesting only during the day with non-aggressive methods and only using responsible fishing certified partners for our canned fish products.
Organic certification is not the same as having quality products so knowing that, since the beginning, this company strives to get every year the best possible olive oil and related products. Olmais olives are harvest very early and extraction begins in the same day ensuring very fruity and green olive oils, perfection is our goal year after year. This company has won over 40 awards in the last 3 years, including winning the National Agriculture Award for their work with olive oil and an honorable mention in the National Producers Award for our production methods.
Enjoy this organic, pure, cold pressed, unfiltered and not winterized OLMAIS Olive Oil, a return to the origins of olive oil. All at once fruity, green, herbaceous and floral, layered with a balanced spiciness and bitterness that lingers.
