At an altitude of almost 2000 meters, the weaving mill of our wool blankets is located in the region of Manteigas in Serra da Estrela, the mountains of Portugal.
The family business has existed since 1925 and the region and the manufactory have always worked with sheep. The milk is used to produce cheese specialties - the wool is used to make high-quality wool products. Also, the wool of our wool blankets comes from the immediate environment of the manufactory. So we were able to get to know the sheep and the shepherd personally.

OUR WOOL
It is the most resistant fiber of animal origin, 100% natural and, like human hair, contains a protein called keratin. During growth, it is lubricated by the sebaceous glands, which secrete a waxy substance whose main component is lanolin. Being biodegradable and renewable, the sheep produces wool year after year, which is sheared for its own good. It is naturally elastic and comfortable and is used as a natural thermal insulator.
