Question 1

What guarantees the authenticity and purity of Portuguese EVOO?

Accepted Answer

The strongest guarantee is sourcing DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) oils. These are certified from a specific region, with controlled varieties and methods. We also work with producers who provide full batch traceability and independent lab analysis for acidity and polyphenol levels.

Question 2

What certifications are crucial for exporting cheese?

Accepted Answer

Essential certifications include: 1) EU Health Certificate for the destination country, 2) Producer's sanitary registration, 3) PDO/DOP certificate (if applicable), and 4) Halal/Kosher if required for your market. We manage this documentation process.

Question 3

Why is Portugal considered a high value-to-quality source for wine?

Accepted Answer

Portugal offers unparalleled diversity with over 250 native grapes, producing unique wines not found elsewhere. Combined with lower land costs compared to other European regions, this allows producers to offer exceptional complexity and character at competitive price points, providing superior margin potential.

Question 4

What ensures consistency in color and veining between different marble shipments?

Accepted Answer

Consistency is guaranteed by sourcing from the same quarry block or 'seam.' We work with quarries in the Estremoz, Borba, and Vila Viçosa region that map their extraction, allowing us to reserve material from a specific vein for your project, ensuring batch-to-batch uniformity over time.

Question 5

What is a typical MOQ for marble slabs?

Accepted Answer

The standard MOQ is one full container load (approx. 25-28 tons of slabs). This is due to the economics of block extraction, cutting, and loading. For smaller projects, we can sometimes consolidate with other orders, but container load is the baseline for direct sourcing.
