Quinta da Lagoalva presents its new vintage of extra virgin olive oil

08/04/2026Produced from the Italian Frantoio and Moraiolo varieties, which were introduced to the estate in 1875, Quinta da Lagoalva’s new 2025 Extra Virgin Olive Oil builds on a tradition dating back over 150 years in the Ribatejo region.

Quinta da Lagoalva, a historic estate in the Ribatejo region widely renowned for its Vinhos do Tejo, has just launched the 2025 vintage of its Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a product that reflects the estate’s long tradition of olive cultivation, which began in 1875.

It was in that year that the Duke of Palmela, then owner of the estate, commissioned the planting of an olive grove with the Italian varieties Frantoio and Moraiolo, becoming a pioneer in the introduction of these varieties to Portugal. Today, these century-old trees occupy a nine-hectare olive grove, alongside a further 23.5 hectares also dedicated to the production of virgin olive oil for bulk sale.

Launched in 2010, the Quinta da Lagoalva Extra Virgin Olive Oil brand has cemented the commitment to promoting this olive oil, produced in a mill using advanced technology that allows for extraction at strictly controlled low temperatures, preserving the sensory characteristics of the fruit.

Quinta da Lagoalva Extra Virgin 2025 presents itself as a light green-fruited oil, with notes of dried fruit, green almond skin, lime peel and hints of tomato vine. On the palate, it reveals a sweet attack, followed by elegant, lingering bitter notes, creating a harmonious balance between aromas and flavours. This is a unique blend in Portugal, combining the Italian Frantoio and Moraiolo varieties planted over 150 years ago on the estate. Versatile in culinary contexts, the olive oil is ideal for finishing vegetable purées, roasted vegetables and steamed fish, but also for simple enjoyment with fresh bread or toast.

Quinta da Lagoalva Extra Virgin 2025 is available at various specialist retailers and at the estate’s shop in Alpiarça, as well as via the brand’s online store.
