BERGER DA BARONIA OLIVE OIL
Da Baronia Olive Oil is a work of art, co-created by nature and our dedication to excellence. Produced in limited quantities on our Swiss family farm in the heart of Portugal’s Alentejo region, it recently won a Gold Medal at the 2025 International Olive Oil Competition. We were selected among 110 participants from 17 countries and are recognized for the taste, high polyphenol levels, and our dedication to sustainable cultivation, traditional production methods, and passion and care in every drop.
​
Our organic oil comes from ancient olive trees, some over a thousand years old, sustainably grown on untouched land. Using our own state-of-the-art olive mill, we press the olives within hours of harvest, preserving their vivid color, balanced spiciness, and naturally high polyphenols for maximum freshness and health benefits.
​
A unique blend of local varieties (Galega, Bical, and Cobrançosa) gives Da Baronia its berry and creamy almond notes, delicate yet full aroma, and a taste that elevates both everyday cooking and fine cuisine. Swiss quality, rooted in Portuguese tradition.

ABOUT US
Originally from Switzerland, we, Andrea and Andreas, spent the last 30 years traveling and living around the world with our four children. From Africa, to South East Asia, to Europe and South America.
​​
Lately, we decided to fulfill a lifelong dream to be close to nature, to farm and to host guests. After searching many countries and corners of the world we found this magnificent spot and settled down in Portugal's Alentejo region, on a farm amidst centenary olive trees, cork trees, Ibarian oak trees and sheep.
​
We respectfully tend to the land and trees, conscious that we are here only the caretakers for a short period of time in the lives of these olive trees. We put emphasis on sustainable farming practices and preservation for future generations.
​
In order to share this heritage with a wider community we decided to build an olive mill on our domain. This allows us to guarantee authenticity, quality and freshness of our organic olive oil for you.
​
It is our belief that the real artisans of our olive oil are the ancient olive trees. On this land, the same trees have been crafting the finest oil for up to 1000 years and still do so today. They know best how to produce a high quality organic olive oil.
​
We see our role as the guardians of these ancient trees, their fruits and their olive oil. And we are proud to share it with you.
