The origin of Serramel dates back to 1898, the year in which Jorge de Almeida Lima acquired his first beehives and explored them in Quinta do Lameiro, his country estate in the outskirts of Lisbon.
In 1974, two of Jorge Almeida Lima?s great-grandsons decided to restore the old hives, dedicating themselves with body and soul to the beekeeping activity. From Lisbon they moved to Penamacor in Beira Baixa, choosing as Serramel terroir the magnificent landscapes of Serra da Malcata.
