Who we are
About the farm
Since 2000 we, a family of Swiss origin, have been farming in Santa Iria near Serpa in the Alentejo. We cultivate our olive groves organically and biodynamically (Demeter); on the estate we also keep cattle and bees and grow citrus fruit and herbs. Right after harvest we cold-extract the olives in our own oil mill; you can buy our extra virgin olive oils – including a limited edition from 200- to 800-year-old trees – and our oils pressed together with lemon, mandarin, basil, garlic or chilli at the farm on weekdays.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
