Located in São Bartolomeu de Messines, this 6-hectare farm with 1000 olive trees has been a family farm since 2016. Here, the olives are harvested manually before they ripen and are cold-pressed (at temperatures below 27ºC ) through mechanical methods, without the addition of any chemical additives. This helps preserve the polyphenols in olives, thus maximizing their health benefits. Quinta Danaé controls the entire process, from tree pruning to biological treatment, harvesting, selection, pressing, filtering and bottling of EVOO olive oil.

The spicier the olive oil, the greater the amount of oleocanthal and the better its antioxidant action for the body. Furthermore, the maximum acidity of EVOO olive oil is 0.8%, while ordinary olive oil cannot exceed 2%. In the Algarve, there are several varieties of olives, but at Quinta Danaé, Maçanilha predominates, and it is with these olives that this golden elixir is produced with precision and passion. Its high quality is capable of satisfying even the most demanding palates.

The world of olive oils is similar to that of fine wines, deserving the same dedication and passion. Year after year, we learn to appreciate different olive oils and combine them with the best dishes. The olive tree is deeply linked to mythology, defying the centuries (even today there are olive trees that are more than 4000 years old). It inspires a feeling of respect and admiration, and it is inevitable to look at it with reverence, after all, it is one of the oldest living beings in Portugal.

Orders are normally dispatched by courier (DPD) and can be sent to any location in mainland Portugal or practically all countries within the European Community (see list). Unfortunately, due to very strict customs restrictions, we are no longer able to ship orders to the UK. This situation may change in the future, depending on the evolution of extra-community agreements. If you prefer, you can choose a collection point for your order. If the delivery is made in Albufeira, we will deliver it by hand free of charge.

An important point to highlight is the need to have the complete address and, above all, leave a contact telephone number for the country where the order is being sent. For example, if the shipping address is in France, the contact must be a telephone with a French code, not Portuguese, because the courier will only call a number in the country if he needs more information about the delivery location.

We only use cardboard boxes specially designed for postal shipping. Products are packaged and protected in the best possible way, using only recycled or recyclable material. The filling of the box is made from shreds of colored paper, which gives it a cheerful and appealing appearance. We believe, however, that the important thing is the quality of the content and not sophisticated packaging, which is often discarded immediately and ends up being another environmental pollutant. At the end of the year, there is the option of choosing a box with Christmas effects, but it is still made of recyclable cardboard.
