The olive tree and its products
Olive oil
Galega de la Pachamama olive oil is a Grand Cru of which we are extremely proud. Coming from a 100% natural culture that does not allow the addition of any pesticides, inputs or other fertilizers and labeled DOP "Norte Alentejo" (protected designation of origin), this pure olive juice has all the organoleptic characteristics of a great extra virgin olive oil. Its extremely low acidity and purity indices bear witness to this, they are respectively 0.13 and 0.11.
In addition, in order to guarantee optimal conservation, we require the Pachamama to harvest and press the olives only a few hours apart, its displayed peroxidation rate of 7.0 guarantees this. For your information, Grands Crus must legally present an acidity level of less than 0,8%, have a purity index that does not exceed 0,20 and display a maximum value of 20 for peroxidation.

The olive tree is a symbol of health and longevity and its main properties are attributed to the oil extracted from its fruit. While its sheet is just as much, if not more!

Its therapeutic properties do not stop there.
Olive leaf is perfectly indicated in many circulation disorders: heavy legs, varicose veins, numbness, cold in the extremities...
The olive leaf extract also acts on the regulation of tension (hypotensive properties). It is interesting to note that it will have little effect in normal-tense people! So they can use it without fear for other cases.
