My name is Alvaro Vega.
I’m the owner of Fabricadouro.
Fabricadouro was founded in 2008.
We initially focused only on
wine production and agricultural services.
In 2017, we bought a building and started the
olive oil project by investing in an olive oil mill.
At the moment, we have around 300 customers.
This year we would like to reach
400-500 customers or even more.
It is very difficult to comment about the characteristics of
our olive oil because we process several different varieties.
Our goal is to make good olive oil with better
quality than any other mill in the Douro area.
The Fabricadouro mill processes around
200-250 t of oil using a 2-phase decanter.
The decanter we bought
is the Alfa Laval Sigma 6.
The results have been great. We get the yield
we were looking for along with maximum quality.
The relationship between Fabricadouro and Alfa Laval
is really good. Alfa Laval always solves our problems.
Their people are very close and
available to us during the season.
I would recommend Alfa Laval to anybody.
They will be well served by buying Alfa Laval equipment.
