Brief History

Extra virgin olive oil with aromatic herbs has a centuries-old tradition. The monks who lived in the various monasteries in the Douro region, since medieval times, used to flavor the olive oil with the aromatic herbs that they cultivated or that grew spontaneously in their territory. In this way, they began a gastronomic tradition that is still a living part of Mediterranean cuisine today. All over the slopes of the Douro, whether in steep and rugged areas or on terraces and terraces supported by schist walls, they are rich in herbs and plants that shed flavors and aromas when, immersed in oil, they are left to rest for a long period of time.
