The Fábrica do Azeite (Olive Oil Factory), a partner of the Azeite a Norte project and an emblematic Acushla space in the heart of Porto, has just received the prestigious award for "Best EVOO Olive Oil Shop in the World" at the EVOOLEUM 2025 Awards ceremony, which takes place today in Madrid. This distinction, granted by the organization that annually publishes the guide to the 100 best extra virgin olive oils in the world, recognizes the excellence and innovation of this unique space on Rua Ferreira Borges, which has stood out for the way it celebrates and promotes the culture of superior quality extra virgin olive oil.

The Fábrica do Azeite represents much more than a shop – it's a true sensory experience dedicated to the "liquid gold" of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro. With its 120 square meters, the space combines the sale of organic gourmet products, olive oil tastings, and even a compact olive press that allows visitors to watch the production process. At the heart of this proposal is Acushla organic olive oil, produced at Quinta do Prado in Vila Flor, which over the past few years has won more than 100 international awards, including gold medals in competitions in Europe, Asia and America.

This international recognition reinforces what the northern region of Portugal has been building: a world-class olive oil tourism offering. The Fábrica do Azeite's distinction at the EVOOLEUM awards puts Porto and Trás-os-Montes on the global map as unmissable references for those seeking the best extra virgin olive oil, confirming that the best olive oil shop in the world is not in Italy, Spain or Greece – it's right here in Northern Portugal.

Is that okay? I can adjust the tone, expand a section or add more details if needed!

Congratulations Fábrica do Azeite!!
