Our approach
At Cantaria, the oil does not come from an anonymous blend.
Cantaria is committed to the quality of its products
Tradition and know-how
It comes from small plots , cultivated and harvested, in the northeast of Portugal, where time still counts.
The olives are pressed at optimal ripeness . Not when the yield is at its maximum, but when the fruit gives its best.
Each harvest has its own personality.
A fiery temperament, like a balanced temperament, can be more intense one year, and deeper the next.
Because we respect the rhythm of the seasons,
rather than trying to produce the same taste all year round.
Because working organically means accepting the rhythm of life:
observe, wait, intervene less.
Cantaria refills were born from this logic.
They extend an existing use, without multiplying the objects or starting from scratch.
Thus, naturally:
the oil merchant remains
the gesture remains
the taste remains
And it is this demand that gives rise to more expressive oils.
with such a distinctive aromatic signature.
Organic is not a selling point at Cantaria.
This is a condition for making an oil that is true to its origin.
