Herdade do EsporaoExtra Virgin Olive Oil - Selection - 1 bottle - 17 fl oz

Spend a holiday in Portugal, and you will be craving their produce, and of course, their olive oils. This one fills the void I feel when I need Portuguese olive oil to enhance my Portuguese recipes. Impossible to replicate their produce, but if I may just have a whiff of the olive oil that will attempt to elevate my inferior produce to their level, I am IN! I gift this olive oil to family and friends, and they love it!

My favorite olive oil.

Quite expensive

This is the best olive oil that I have found. I've had oil shipped to me directly from Italy - this rivals the best olive oils out there.

Though this bottle is now empty and I have moved on to another brand of another nation, this was very good while it lasted. I don't have the best relations with Portugal, and as a result of concessions for a resolution to political turmoil, I had to give this up. Maybe one day in the future I will be allowed to use Portuguese products again, I hope.

Worth the price as a finishing olive oil

Portuguese olive oil is definitely not for sissies or culinary peasants; it has a robust taste - nothing light or delicate about it. If you have never tasted Portuguese olive oil, I would suggest that initially you buy a small bottle of premium oil such as Herdade do Esporao (You can check the Olive Oil Times for other premium brands). Don't try to go for cheap! If you already enjoy Portuguese olive oil, I fully recommend Herdade do Esporao.

I do NOT recommend to buy this products, poor quality!
