Acushla Gold Edition
Acushla was born from the passion of a man, the strength of an emotion that would allow several generations from the same family to bond around the olive oil business. The olive tree, by its beauty, spirituality, resistance and longevity, has always fascinated Joaquim Moreira, a fashion and textile entrepreneur, who, having spent most of his professional life in big metropolis, decided to cherish an alternative project strictly connected with nature. The initiative to take this path came from the need to “temper” the everyday life with a business connected to the land and the slower rhythm that it determines. Acushla is a word of Celtic origin that means “beat of my heart”. The name choice arose from the search for a single expression able to translate the whole concept and emotion associated with this project which has materialized in 2006. It was in Quinta do Prado, Vila Flor, located in Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro region, that Joaquim Moreira, after much effort in the study on areas with high potential for olive oil production in Portugal, found the ideal site for producing an outstanding olive oil. This estate, with 14 hectares of centenarian olive trees and 200 hectares of new olive trees, has in total approximately 70.000 olive trees. When maturity is reached the expected production of olive oil will be around 350.000 litres, making it one of the largest organic production areas in the region of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro. Being the environmental concern and sustainability one of the cornerstones of Acushla, we have elected organic farming, where the growth of the olive trees is conducted with the utmost respect for the established procedures of organic production, foreseen by the European and American legislation. This production includes the use of farming techniques that respect the natural life cycles and reduce environmental impact. It also leads to several slow and expensive procedures, mainly the maintenance of the fertilization of the soils and the respect for phytosanitary and fertilization principles; it is prohibited the use of chemical synthesis products.

More than 500 members of the Agricultural Cooperative of Zakros with their families, cultivate almost exclusively olive trees, respecting the environment, continuing the ancient tradition in modern terms. Their dedicated specialization in olive cultivation, have made Zakros an "Olive Oil Politeia", a community with a constant evolution of knowledge, equipment and procedures, exchange of views and collaboration. The Cooperative, since its birth in 1936, actively interacts with the community and is part of its history. Our olive oil is produced exclusively from Koroneiki variety olives in Zakros, within the boundaries of the Sitia Geopark, in an area characterized by its great biodiversity and complex geomorphology. The natural springs of the surrounding mountains of Zakros with the rainwater of excellent quality as well as the nutritious limestone soils, are the gifts of the natural location. The Mediterranean climate, especially the dry-thermal microclimate, with hot - dry summers and mild winters, as well as the altitude of 200-250 meters from the sea, contribute to the excellent organoleptic characteristics of the olive oil. Production is held in a natural way with modern equipment, in the three-phase oil mill of the Agricultural Olive Cooperative of Zakros in Sitia, Crete. The olive oil is kept in modern stainless-steel tanks with nitrogen headspace system, that protects its excellent physicochemical characteristics and functional properties. It is a product of cold extraction. Olive paste malaxation occurs at temperatures not exceeding 27o C.
