The Olive Oil World Congress takes place in Lisbon on 2 and 3 July 2026. Portugal has outstanding scientific representation — including the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, the voice of our territory.

Even before spring officially arrives, a spectacle announces its arrival in Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro: the almond trees in bloom. White and pink patches cover the slopes, contrasting with the dark schist and the still-grey olive groves of winter. It's a visual promise that something good is on the way—and that "something" goes far beyond beauty.

Olive oil with cocoa from Murça wins 1st place in international ranking. Judia chestnut in the TOP 25. A great victory for olive tourism in Trás-os-Montes.
