Cinco Soldos Azeite

Cinco Soldos is a Portuguese brand specializing in high-quality olive oils. The brand's name originates from a historical context: during the monarchy, laws protecting agriculture imposed a fine of five soldos for anyone who uprooted an olive tree, highlighting the olive tree's significance in Portuguese agriculture and cuisine. The brand offers a range of olive oils, including the 'Cinco Soldos Reserva,' a superior extra virgin olive oil ideal for finishing dishes or enjoying with bread; the 'Cinco Soldos Superior' and 'Cinco Soldos Essencial,' versatile extra virgin olive oils suitable for seasoning or as a base for other sauces; and the 'Cinco Soldos Casto,' a virgin olive oil intended for culinary uses like roasting or soups. These products are produced in Portugal using 100% Portuguese olives and natural processes that preserve the quality of the fruit. The olives undergo washing, grinding, decanting, centrifugation, and filtration, followed by storage at controlled temperatures to maintain the final product's quality. The brand is owned by the Portuguese company Sogrape, a leading wine producer in Portugal, which has diversified its portfolio to include olive oils, reflecting its commitment to quality and tradition in Portuguese food products.
