Origin

From the Protected Designation of Origin of Trás-os-Montes, it is a high quality, extra virgin olive oil with a low degree of acidity. In addition to excellent texture and taste, Acushla is nutritionally recommendable and reveals a distinct environmental concern at all stages of its production. It is suitable for serving at the table, but also for making gourmet dishes. Acushla is a refined olive oil, dedicated to a contemporary consumer who seeks excellence standards at the table.

It was in Quinta do Prado, Vila Flor, in Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro region, that Joaquim Moreira, after a strong effort in analyzing and study high potential areas for olive oil production in Portugal, found the ideal place to produce an outstanding olive oil.

This estate, with 14 hectares of centenarian olive trees with all its beauty, spirituality, resistance, and longevity and 200 hectares more of new olive trees, has in total approximately 70.000 olive trees. When maturity is reached the expected production of olive oil will be around 350.000 liters, making it one of the largest organic production areas in the region of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro.

Being the environmental concern and sustainability one of the cornerstones of Acushla, we have elected organic farming, where the growth of the olive trees is conducted with the utmost respect for the established procedures of organic production, foreseen by the European and American legislation. This production includes the use of farming techniques that respect the natural life cycles and reduce environmental impact. It also leads to several slow and expensive procedures, mainly the maintenance of the fertilization of the soils and the respect for phytosanitary and fertilization principles; it is prohibited the use of chemical synthesis products.

Acushla is a word of Celtic origin that means “beat of my heart”. The name choice arose from the search for a single expression able to translate the whole concept and emotion associated with this project which has materialized in 2006.

The initiative to take this path came from the need to “temper” the everyday life with a business connected to the land and the slower rhythm that it determines. The right decision was made this is in fact a project that has consistently won many awards, year after year, for its very high quality and magnificent taste and sustainability effort.
