The EVOO and its producer: Glenda Haas

The award-winning EVOO: Lagar H Blend da Safra, Arbequina, Arbosana and Koroneiki olive varieties.

At Lagar H, the slogan is “Carbon-neutral is our pride and joy”. Lagar H takes immense pride in its activities, which has become the first company in the world to be certified carbon-neutral, even though they actually capture more pollutants than they emit. According to Glenda Haas, director of Lagar H, right from the onset (2014) the company’s goal has been to set a gold standard in business management in order to offer a high quality product, focusing on cutting-edge technology, environmental and social responsibility, and relying on strong governance.

At Lagar H they have worked diligently to pass on the values they cultivate, keeping alive and sharing all that is the world of oil. We are constantly engaged in effective learning at every stage of the process and, above all, in our relationships: with the land, with nature and with the people. The olive trees and the oil mill are situated in an area of Brazil whose climate is equivalent to that of the Mediterranean, says Glenda, director of Lagar H, who has performed a task that seemed impossible: to cultivate olive trees in Brazil; to make this millenary culture her family’s legacy. A tough but successful challenge.
