Founded in 1986, Hélder Madeira specialises in the maçanilha algarvia olive — the region’s emblematic variety — traditionally cured with salt and oregano, without artificial additives. A process that slowly draws out its natural character, revealing firm textures, herbal aromas and a distinctive, authentic flavour.
