Azeite do Alentejo Interior

This extra virgin olive oil is obtained from olives of the Galega Vulgar, Cordovil de Serpa, and Cobrançosa varieties. Raised across more than 150,000 hectares of land, these olives are some of the most important cultures grown in the region.

They are harvested in October and immediately refined into liquid gold. Alentejo olive oil has a bright yellow to green color and a sweet, mellow flavor. The prominent aromas of ripe apple and fig provide a unique, sweet aftertaste. This irreplaceable ingredient in local cuisine is present in dishes ranging from soups and gazpachos all the way to traditional Portuguese desserts.
