List of products by brand Fundação Abreu Callado

The rising wealth and consequent social importance of the Abreu Callado family dates back to the end of the old constitutional regime (which only ended in 1910), when José de Abreu, a farmer married to Rosa do Carmo Monteiro Callado Godinho, benefited from the Pombaline legislation that extends the institution of the "emphyteusis" (the broadest real right over someone else's immovable property, with the obligation to pay the owner a certain annual rent... consists of legal transcription, hereditary succession and adverse possession), which facilitated the transfer of properties belonging to noble families (such as the Vaz Negrão and the Soeiro Fortio de Leão, residing in Benavila), to the farmers, "(...) reinforcing their position of land tenure and imposing the rigidity of the leases of the Alentejo farms" (M. Antónia Pires de Almeida, 2006, P.51). His sons, João de Abreu Callado and Francisco de Abreu Callado, after constituting separate agricultural houses after his death, benefited after the liberal revolution of 1820, not only from the Pombaline legislation, maintained by Mouzinho da Silveira with regard to the patrimonial goods, like all other liberal legislation, reinforcing bourgeois property.
