Olive Auction built this page from public records so buyers can find the estate. Its own people can claim it at no cost — complete the story, list lots, answer buyers.
After a claim, we confirm by emailEverything here comes from public sources — award lists, certification registers, the territory inventories. The rest of the story — the family, the grove, the real age of the trees, this year's lab sheet — only the mill can tell, and it is the part buyers bid on.
Casa de Santo Amaro dates its history to the creation of the Morgadio de Santo Amaro on 14 October 1687, and the property at Suçães, near Mirandela in Trás-os-Montes, is now held by the eighth generation of the same family. Olives and oil only became economically central from the middle of the nineteenth century, and until 2006 the fruit left the farm in bulk. Since then the whole cycle has stayed on the property: the trees tended through the year, olives picked at the end of October, oil extracted in the estate's own mill, then stored and bottled there, what the producer calls an azeite de quinta.
The bottlings — Clássico, Selection, Praemium, Grande Escolha and Prestige — draw on Cobrançosa, Madural and Verdial Transmontana, carry the protected designation Azeite de Trás-os-Montes, and are held to an acidity between 0.1 and 0.2 per cent, from plantings the producer lists as either 25 years and under or over 75. Trade coverage puts the grove at some 165 hectares and around 26,000 trees, a good part of them described as centenary.
In 2015 the estate took a Mário Solinas Quality Award from the International Olive Council. In 2017 alone it recorded Gold at the New York International Olive Oil Competition, Gold at Olive Japan, Grand Prestige Gold at TerraOlivo in Israel and Gold at Portugal's Feira Nacional de Olivicultura. A later limited edition, In Memoriam, was drawn from more than 200 centenarian trees and released as 1,360 bottles.
