We got a great visit by a lovely gentleman (\The great grand son\) whose name unfortunately we did not get. We called ahead to make sure we could have a tour as we were arriving around lunch time and they waited for us and took the time to explain the whole process and answered all of our questions. They also have amazing artisanat made out of cork. Check it out!!

We were so fortunate to come at a time (unannounced) when David was available to give us a tour. David and his parents run the business; they come from a family of people who have worked with cork for multiple generations and he was a wealth of information. We learned about the life cycle of cork oak trees, the harvesting process, cork quality, and the process for preparation to final product. We also checked out the expansive gift shop with many cork items at reasonable prices. I suggest that folks check opening times before going as they are closed in the early afternoon for lunch. This visit was one of the highlights to our trip to Portugal.
What can I say? I visited this Cork factory 3 or 4 times, and each single one was fantastic. They have a comprehensive explanation about the entire process, with many practical examples. At the end I suggest to visit the Cork shop, where you can find some of the most authentic Cork art in Portugal. Top.
A wonderful tour under the guidance of David who was really nice and with all the knowledge throughout the cork industry. There is a factory store at quite reasonable prices. Tour is highly recommended, the place is run by David and his parents who were really nice and helpful !!!
Great place to learn about the cork harvesting, treatment and fabrication. EVEN BETTER: you can actually watch the whole process from the raw material to the final products (decoration items). And this without an annoying guided tour in a big group of tourists ;-) Accessoires, bags, purses, shoes etc. are not produced here but in another factory. TIP: If you don't like the tourist shops and their cork products, which often come from China, you can have a look at the nice shop integrated in the factory building which is run by the mother. There you can buy all kinds of cork products with a great quality and at a good price. If he has time and is available, you can ask her son David and he will be happy to explain the whole fabrication process to you - even in very good English! PS: Thank you for your time, David.
Great place to get information about cork and the process of turning it into products.
We arrived at 14:15 on a Sunday afternoon. The facility is closed.
