Passeite Blend

History

Passeite is originated by the Passos family.

Their farm, 12km south of Coimbra, is in an area and climate ideal for keeping olive trees. Coimbra area is one of the oldest olive oils producing areas and was already producing back in the Roman period.

In 2005 the grove started to produce olives and since 2015 the hobby turned into a business. Guilherme and his wife Marije, are passionate about the grove and started to approach friends and family for stay overs to help picking olives. The love of the hobby was strong enough for Marije & Gui to live on the farm and give up careers to pursue making high quality olive oil. With purchases of lands and cooperation with grove-owners they try to put olive oil from Coimbra back on the map. The olives and trees are nurtured with love and this can be tasted in their evoo.
