To celebrate the first Christmas with our Amante olive oil (2022), we have brought together our arts in a very special Gift Box.
João produced the olive oil, an oil from a single variety of olive, Picual, which gives it a unique flavor.
Laura created an olive oil dish — an olive oil dish made of earthenware. Each piece is handmade, from the initial kneading of the clay to the final firing. This means that each piece is unique. They explore and showcase the beauty of the relationship between the colours, texture and movement of the Alentejo landscape. They are made of Portuguese earthenware and raw glazes.
To complete the Gift Box, we have included a print that represents the painting that gives rise to the label.
Amante extra virgin olive oil comes from 12 hectares of olive groves, Picual variety, planted in 2012 at Herdade da Burquilheira. In a typical Alentejo climate, the olive grove grew with respect for the surrounding nature.
Both the ceramic and the print are limited edition, signed and numbered and with a Certificate of Authenticity.
