Vacinata Extra Virgin olive oil

Written by Veronica L.

The Portuguese olive history goes back centuries. A story that had to deal with the War of Independence from Spain, a period in which the olive groves were destroyed and planted again later.

When Portugal redesigned its territory with the cultivation of olive groves, a flourishing era began for the oil trade with exports throughout Northern Europe.

Today, Portugal is one of the countries with a high oil vocation, with various regions producing PDO EVOO and cutting-edge companies that invest in sustainability. If it is true that Spain and Italy remain the first two producing nations of Extra virgin olive oil, it is equally true that they also purchase important quantities of EVOO from Portugal, confirming the quality of the Lusitanian product.
