Quinta da Romaneira
The Douro Valley has a microclimate and soil particularly suitable for olive trees, which have been grown here for centuries. Our olive groves are planted with the traditional varieties of Cordovil, Galega, Verdeal and Madural. After hand picking they are ground in a granite stone mill before pressing and filtration (first cold pressing only). Our oil has a very low natural acidity, with a fine aromatic bouquet reminiscent of the herbs and plants that grow wild throughout the property.
Where to Find Established in 1757, Romaneira is one of the largest estates in the region, with a total of 412 hectares and three kilometers of riverfrontage on the Douro. The vineyards and olive trees are planted on terraces on the steeply sloping hills of the property. With many valleys and promontories, Romaneira contains several microclimates and various south-easterly, south-westerly and southern-facing slopes.
