Tradicional Olive Oil

In the beginning of olive production in Portugal, there was no desire to export and almost all the olive oil cultivated was used in catering to the domestic markets. However, during the early eighties with the benefits of polyunsaturated vegetable oils coming to the forefront, the importance or demand for olive oil suffered a backseat in Portugal. But with its joining the European Union, the scenario has improved immensely and Portugal is now ranked eighth in the world market. Oil mills and refineries have been developed and some of the premier olive oil producing regions include Norte Alentejano, the hills of the Moura region, the upper Douro and the Tras-os-Montes in the northern part of Portugal.
