ABOUT CASA DA OLIVEIRA BRAVA

Olive growing is assumed to be an age-old tradition, very characteristic of our Mediterranean landscape and culture. It has always appeared for various uses and purposes, in food, medicine, cosmetics, religious rituals, among others, such as simple lighting by the lamp.

Olive oil production has always been a family activity, at least 4 generations ago we had our own oil press for the extraction of oil. Where also, other farmers resorted to extracting their oil. Unfortunately, in the late 1960s, the oil press was destroyed by a storm followed by a water storm. At that time, a tibial and almost abandoned phase began for my family, at least in the form and dedication that until then was dedicated to olive growing, which only around 2013 experienced a turnaround. In 2013 I decided taking over only the family’s olive groves and, meanwhile, buying other olive groves, I started to outline a strategy for the launch of my family’s olive oil brand. With the help of friends, we created a logo and developed the entire graphic part of the brand. Meanwhile, on the ground, assisted by engineers, I started working to get the best oil that the Douro region could give. At the end of 3 years, the Casa da Oliveira Brava olive oil brand was finally launched on the market.
