Horta da Moura and Carmim present the 2450 Years Olive Oil
The new 2450 Years Olive Oil, the result of a partnership between the Horta da Moura hotel unit and the Carmim agricultural cooperative, was presented at the Feitiço da Moura restaurant.
The event was attended by the Mayor of Reguengos de Monsaraz, José Calixto, as well as various personalities from the region's political life. Also present were Maria Luísa Paiva dos Santos, owner of Horta da Moura, and José Alves, responsible for the development.
The celebration took place within the scope of the European City of Wine 2015 and was accompanied by Pedro Mestre, with his viola campaniça, and the Monsaraz Coral Group.
The olive oil was produced from olives harvested from the property's ancient olive trees, certified by the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), the oldest of which is 2450 years old - the name that inspires the label.
It is an olive oil with a mild and fresh almond aroma, typical of the "galega" variety, with a greenish-yellow color. The production involved more than 60 people and resulted in approximately 800 bottles of 0.25 liters each.
The event also coincided with the awarding of an Honorable Mention to Horta da Moura in the category of Best Tourist Development of 2014, awarded by Turismo do Alentejo.
