Shield Or, two connected olive branches Vert fruited Sable, in chief a fleur-de-lis Azure flanked by two barrels Gules hooped sable. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "OLIVEIRA - MESÃO FRIO".
Meaning:
The branches are symbolizing oliviculture. The fleur-d-lis is an attribute of St. Mary of Oliveira, the local patron saint. The barrels are alluding to local caves and to local cooperage.
