Olive Oil from Alentejo Interior – PDO

The production of olive oil in the Alentejo region is lost in the memory of time. Romans, Visigoths and Arabs produced olive oil. It is thought that, even before the presence of these peoples in the region, olive oil was already produced there. Portel, where our olive oils come from, is one of the municipalities that produce the Olive Oil from Alentejo Interior – PDO. Its typically yellowish color, oscillating between golden or greener hues, is associated with the flavors and aromas yielded by the following varieties of olives: Cordovil de Serpa, Cobrançosa and, mainly, Galega Vulgar. Set the table. Surprise your guests with an olive oil tasting from our selection, to the sound of some Alentejo typical singing… «Quais, quais, oliveira, olivais…»

Some flavors are known to the ear as well as the palate!
