Quinta de Rio Pequeno Azeite Virgem Extra is an exceptional olive oil from Portugal's Trás-os-Montes region, produced from a blend of Madural, Galega, and Verdeal Transmontana olives. It boasts a fresh aroma with notes of nuts, cut grass, tomato plant, and apple, and a flavour that is fatty, sweet, and fruity with a hint of bitterness and spiciness. The olives are harvested at peak ripeness and cold-extracted in a traditional family ecological mill, ensuring superior quality. This oil reflects the heritage of centenarian olive trees in the traditional Douro olive groves.
