VALE DOURO RESERVE 1821

ABOUT VALE DOURO

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- Ranhados do Douro PORTUGAL. You have to come to Ranhados do Douro in the north of Portugal to draw the secrets of this very dark gold.
 It is here that I select the best plots each year to develop an exceptional oil.
In the middle of vines, chestnut trees and almond trees, clinging to the mountain, the olive trees are mostly one hundred years old.
Here we are not talking about ORGANIC but wild olives in NATURAL CULTURE. Mechanization and limited interventions : Three plows per year, In spring, mid-summer and early fall a few weeks before harvest.
 We only do one spring pruning every 5 years. We do not use any chemicals, only natural compost.
