Esporão’s Olival dos Arrifes Organic Olive Oil was considered the Best Olive Oil on the Market at the Concurso Nacional de Azeites de Portugal (Portugal’s National Olive Oil Competition), for the third consecutive year. Aside from this award, Olival dos Arrifes Organic Olive Oil won two other gold medals (Best olive oil in the categories ‘Medium Fruity Green’ & ‘Organic Production Method’).
From Esporão’s Olival dos Arrifes olive grove, with organic certification, this terroir olive oil involves a careful selection of the fruit, in order to maintain its authentic and genuine flavour. Produced from the Cobrançosa and Arbequina varieties, this olive oil offers an intense aroma, with a complexity that recalls freshly cut grass or green anana peel, moderately bitter and slightly spicy
Esporão DOP Norte Alentejano Olive Oil won the gold medal in the ‘Norte Alentejano’ (Northern Alentejo) category, and was considered the best olive oil from this protected designation of origin
