Portugal is well-known for their port wine. Little known to many, their Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a gem find and underplay for too long."


Awed by the award-winning Taylor's Quinta de Vargellas Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Portugal, they produce an exceptional olive oil, prized for its fragrance and richness of flavour.

It is extracted by first cold pressing of olives, harvested by hand from sustainably grown trees of Madural, Cordovil and Vercheal varieties. The olives are picked, milled, cold pressed on the same day. It produces a natural low level of acidity and an oil of the highest quality.

Located in Portugal, the Douro Valley, birthplace of Port, is one of the oldest and most beautiful of the historic European wine regions. Interweaved into this natural beauty are 13 hectares (2862 olive trees) which produce one of the finest olive oils organically, prized for its fragrance and richness of flavour.  The plump ripe olives are hand harvested in November.

It is used mainly in The Yeatman Gastronomic Restaurant (2 Michelin stars awarded in the 2017) in Porto.
