Our orchards are in the West Region, producing fruits distinguishable by colour and flavour thanks to the Atlantic influence. They are inserted in the Protected Geographical Indication of “Alcobaça’s Apple”, www.maca.pt, recognition of their unique features for the production of high quality apples.
Our apples are available in the markets from August to May, depending on range and year; they are produced on Integrated Production Mode, controlled and certified to ensure environmental sustainability and food safety.
