Figueirinha was acquired in 1998 by Comendedor Leonel Camarinha and is now managed by his grandson Filipe Camarinha. It is a family business located in the heart of the Alentejo and, as such, is faithful to its Alentejo roots.
This is why it unites three generations around the passion for wine and olive oil.
The vineyard covers 82 hectares.
The olive grove covers 220 hectares.
In 2006 and 2008, it was recognised with the highest award in the world for olive oils, the first prize in the Mário Solinas competition, and it was also a finalist in 2007.
A combination of various stages of olive ripeness, the olive oil has a green and fruity aroma, smooth with a spicy touch. The olive oil is based on the Cobrançosa, Sikitita, Arbequina and Arbosona varieties.
Green olives to give you a fresh aroma at first, a fine and slightly spicy flavour, and ripe fruits to give you a delicate aroma and a velvety texture at the end.
The mill, which opened in 2006, stands out for its proximity to the olive grove, allowing the olives to be quickly delivered for processing and for the delicate cold extraction of 100% of the olive juice. These processes are crucial for preserving all the aromas and qualities of the fruit.
The Figueirinha estate has 28 hectares of almond trees.
