Portugal · Family olive grove
Our story, our land.
Ten years ago, we fell under the spell of Portugal, its warm hospitality and a way of life deeply connected to nature. Driven by the wish to create a lasting legacy for our four children, we acquired plots in Santos, near Trémes. Our olive grove today comprises 250 preserved fifty-year-old olive trees and 750 young trees planted two years ago. The name “HEMALOJE” came about quite naturally: it brings together the first syllables of our four children’s names, sealing our family commitment in every drop of oil.
SANTOS · PORTUGAL
An olive grove that keeps growing.
Today, the grove includes about 250 olive trees roughly fifty years old and 750 young trees planted two years ago. Two plots adjoin each other, one already productive; the third lies 800 metres away. Each tree has at least 20 m² of space.
Cultivation and harvesting are moments shared as a family. We care for the land without chemical weedkillers or spraying, then hand-pick the fruit directly from the trees. This project is our way of protecting the land and passing on practical knowledge.
