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.

Master Miller
In the centre of Spain, in the northern part of La Mancha and to the south of the province of Toledo, our town, Madridejos, is largely dominated by the outer foothills of the Mountains of Toledo, and the predominant crop is the Olive tree. The Garcia de la Cruz family has planted and cared for its olives from time immemorial, and since 1872 it has devoted itself to the care of the juice obtained from them: Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Five generations of olive professionals have improved the quality of the oil, from Federico Serrano in 1872, down to the present managers, the brothers Fernando and Eusebio Garcia de la Cruz Pascual. The company has grown from a small family business to one of the leading olive oil companies with greater presence abroad. Currently, Garcia de la Cruz Olive Oils markets its products across the five continents in more than 40 countries offering a wide range of products that can be considered one of the most complete in the market. The company holds the leading international certifications (IFS, BRC, JASS) that are a guarantee to the food world of the quality of its olive oil.
