Meet the Maker

Behind every limited edition batch of Wildly Virgin is a passionate maker. These farmers, producers, and craftspeople have been making olive oil for generations and in a world of mass produced oil, their stories are rarely told.

Joaquim Moreira

When you picture a Portuguese olive oil producer, Joaquim might not be what you expect. His roots aren’t in centuries-old farm traditions; they’re in Porto’s stylish clothing industry. Yet memories of working alongside his father as a child kept calling him back to the land. A visit to Joaquim’s mill offers a glimpse into his relentless pursuit of perfection: every square inch is immaculately maintained, from the gleaming stainless-steel presses to the hand-labeled bottles waiting to be filled. His booming laugh echoes through the corridors, and his warmth draws people in almost as much as the aroma of fresh-pressed olives. Year after year, critics have lauded his oils as some of the best in Portugal—and it doesn’t take long to understand why. One taste reveals a depth and purity that could only come from a man who poured heart, soul, and a bit of Porto’s flair, into his extraordinary grove.
