How it all started
YEP – Young EVOO Producers was created in late 2016, bringing together in its formation a group of “Young” olive oil producers, whose elementary principles are based on four common denominations: Quality, Terroir, Excellence and Irreverence.
To be Young is to feel irreverence and joviality regardless of physical age, it is a state of mind that is sublimated in the existence of the EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) that unites us as Producers.
We find ourselves daily in mutation, from Olive Growers to Producers, fromLabel makers to Sellers, from Promoters to Marketeers, but despite thisenormous effort, we all come together for the same passion for the land andfor a product of excellence, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
This project is now in its initial phase and has a well-defined geographicalarea, the Northeast of Portugal (.NE). In the future, it is our intention to turn it into a National (.PT) project by bringing together other producers with the belief in the same common denominators.

Diversity

A history that began more than 100 years ago, where the familiar ancestral tradition of know-how is still being perpetuated and constantly cherished from generation to generation, with quality as an omnipresent characteristic, where advantage is taken of the best of these arts and knowledge but where also present technologies are being intro- duced in a careful and environmentally friendly manner to enhance “what we produce and how we produce it”.
