Herdade do Esporao DOP Moura Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Blessed with mild weather, Mediterranean breezes and a beautiful terroir, Portugal produces some of the best olive oils in the market today, and this golden extra virgin olive oil from Herdade Do Esporao’s Moura estate is a shinning, flavorful example. The olives for DOP Moura Extra Virgin Olive Oil come from 600 acres of select family-owned olive groves in the region of Moura, an area designated as protected for the production of olive oil. The olive oil is cold-pressed only hours after the olives are harvested, guaranteeing a superb freshness and the preservation of the health properties of the natural olive oil.

This complex and intense Portuguese olive oil is made from a blend of Cordovil, Galega, Verdeal olive varietals, which results in a fresh oil with a slight bitterness and lingering spiciness, and a fragrant bouquet of ripe fruits, leaves and earthy nuts. Truly a fantastic condiment, use this premium olive oil to finish dishes, rather than cooking – drizzle over bruschetta, salads, or even simple scrambled or poached eggs, to add a new layer of flavor to the recipe.

Herdade do Esporao has been crafting its fine wines and extra virgin olive oils in the beautiful area of Alentejo and Moura for over 40 years. With an obsession with quality and passionate respect for nature and sustainability, they deliver some of the finest oils in the world, natural, intense and full of the flavors and aromas of the beautiful terroir where they come from.
