We're visiting a fifth-generation farm in Portugal
This is where Bela's olive oil journey begins — during the harvest in late November — when the olives are at their fattest and plumpest, full of rich flavor and natural oils.
Where Time Meets Technique
Many of the olive trees here are over 2,000 years old—and still bearing fruit. This ancient grove in Trás-os-Montes has withstood fire, drought, and time. Today, young trees grow beside the old, carrying the future forward. The oil-making process blends tradition with modern care: olives are hand-harvested, cleaned, and prepared with the same attention that’s been passed down for generations.
Bathed in Liquid Gold
Each tin is packed in rich, golden olive oil—locking in flavor and preserving every perfect bite.
Transformation
The olives are macerated in a churn, spun through a centrifuge, and slowly refined into what we think is the purest, most golden, most delicious plant-based fat on the planet.We’ve had a relationship with this farm for over a decade. Just like "Fish Means Family" for us, it's important that our partners feel like family too. That sense of community runs deep.It takes a village to produce this oil. During harvest, the team works up to 20-hour days to get it just right.
