ACCURACY AND SAFETY
We are an estate-grown olive oil producer, ensuring control over every stage of the production process—from organic farming and processing at our own mill (equipped with advanced technology and guided by best practices) to packaging, storage, and final sales.
The Acushla mill was the first in Portugal to obtain FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification), one of the most rigorous international standards in food safety. We are currently in the process of renewing this certification, reinforcing our commitment to precision, safety, and quality—all driven by a passion for creating an authentic olive oil that captures the true flavor of nature.
