Quinta de Vilar has consolidated, over the years, a recognized tradition of innovation, continuously seeking the best techniques and methods of apple production and conservation.
In the 1970s, it already had Normal Atmosphere Cold Chambers, with a capacity of 450 tons, reinforcing the commitment to the conservation and excellence of the product.

Commercialization in mass distribution began in the 80s, marking a new cycle of growth and visibility in the market.
In 1989, as a result of the size achieved and the recognition obtained from customers, Sociedade Agrícola Quinta de Vilar, Lda., was founded, consolidating the business structure and reinforcing the brand's positioning.

Since 2014, to respond to the growing demand, Quinta de Vilar has established partnerships with regional producers, to which it provides technical assistance and acquires apples, ensuring the high quality standards that characterize it.

In 2023, Quinta de Vilar acquired a warehouse in Armamar, capital of the apple, increasing the conservation capacity to 5.200 tons, distributed by 24 Controlled Atmosphere chambers.
This expansion guarantees a constant supply of apples, especially the Golden variety, strengthening the brand's presence in the national market.

In 2024, in Moimenta da Beira, Quinta de Vilar took a decisive step by acquiring facilities of excellence, consolidating its leadership in the commercialization of Beira Alta apple. The infrastructure has 7 Controlled Atmosphere chambers, which added 2.500 tons of cold capacity, tripling the calibration and doubling the packaging. This investment has created another reception point for local producers, guaranteeing fast and efficient preservation of the fruit. Thinking about the future, the company also acquired 65 hectares next to the Vilar dam, where it plans to start plantations in 2027, with emphasis on the Golden and Reineta varieties.

In Carrazeda de Ansiães, in the heart of Trás-os-Montes, the altitude and the climate create ideal conditions for the production of apples, especially the Golden variety.
In 2025, Quinta de Vilar acquired 30 hectares in Fonte Longa, of which 20 are already in production.

The company intends to expand orchards, acquiring land with or without planted orchards, increase production and conservation capacity, invest in technology, strengthen packaging lines and diversify packaging. The expansion of the facilities in Travancela and Armamar will also take place, ensuring a consistent supply of high quality apples to the national and international market, consolidating its leadership position in the sector
