The Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Quinta Romaneira has a very low natural acidity and a pleasant aromatic bouquet reminiscent of herbs and wild plants that grow on the estate.
It is obtained from centuries-old olive trees at Quinta Romaneira, benefiting from a microclimate and schist soil particularly suitable for their cultivation. Harvested by hand during winter, then crushed in a granite stone mill and reduced to a paste that is cold-pressed, the olives yield their oil without any intervention other than pressing.
What I Love

About the Olive Grove
Quinta Romaneira has existed since 1757, located in the heart of the Douro with over 3km of vineyard plots along the river. The olive oil comes from centuries-old trees of traditional varieties Cordovil, Galega, Verdeal, and Madural scattered in the vineyard plots.
The olives are hand-harvested during winter, about two months after grape harvesting, then crushed in a granite stone mill and reduced to a paste that is cold-pressed.
Recommendations
This olive oil is packaged in an opaque glass bottle to preserve its taste. Once at home, store your olive oil bottle in a dry place away from any heat source.
Of course, this olive oil can be used for cooking, but it would be a shame. Reserve it for simple seasonings or better yet, serve it with fresh bread as an aperitif, in the Portuguese style.
