The cultivation of olive trees has deep roots in the history of Fatima.
The Olive Growers' Cooperative of Fatima was founded in 1951 by José Joaquim, partner #1.
The mill started with three presses and a mill of troncocónicas galgas. In 2010 the cooperative created the brand "Olive Oil Fatima", thus seeking that this would take the name of the cooperative and the city across borders.
"FATIMA Olive Oil" is obtained from various varieties of olives, namely "Galega", "Verdeal" and "Lentisca", produced in different stages of maturation.
