Romeu Extra Virgin Olive Oil is crafted with care and precision at Quinta do Romeu, a family estate located in the Trás-os-Montes region of northeastern Portugal. Recognized among the best olive oils worldwide, Romeu is produced under a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and is certified organic, reflecting the estate’s commitment to ecological harmony and sustainable farming practices.
The olives—Cobrançosa, Verdeal Trasmontana, and Madural—are harvested between November and December using a mix of manual picking and mechanical vibration. To preserve their freshness, they are processed at the estate’s mill on the day of harvest or the following day. The olives are cold-pressed using traditional granite mills, ensuring the oil retains its vibrant flavors and nutritional integrity. Residual materials are composted, completing a natural cycle that nourishes the soil and supports biodiversity.
With an acidity level of less than 0.2%, Romeu Extra Virgin Olive Oil offers a pure, unrefined taste. It features intense grassy and floral aromas with a delicate flavor of fresh olives, almonds, and greens, followed by a long, spicy finish. Ideal for drizzling over salads, grilled vegetables, or fresh bread, this oil enhances any culinary creation with its balanced and elegant profile.
