OUR STORY

Herdade de Castros is located in Campo Maior, in the heart of Alentejo, near the border with Spain. It was here that, over a century ago, the first olive groves were planted, becoming an integral part of the landscape and the founding family’s identity. For three generations, the dedication has focused on cultivating the olive tree, a symbol of deep connection to the land and the region’s agricultural tradition. In 2007, the third generation established the olive mill and created the Herdade de Castros brand, initiating the production and commercialization of extra virgin olive oil and table olives with their own distinct identity. Today, in its fourth generation, Herdade de Castros combines a centennial heritage with modernity, preserving the authenticity and quality that have always set it apart.

What do we produce?

Herdade de Castros is dedicated to the production of two of the greatest symbols of the Mediterranean diet:

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil – crafted from olives harvested at the ideal point of ripeness and cold-extracted in our own mill, ensuring freshness, intensity, and a rich variety of aromas.
  • Table Olives – the result of careful harvests and a process that respects tradition, resulting in flavorful, nutritious, and authentic olives.
