Tratturo Olive Oil from Fronteira

The olive groves of Fronteira at your table

In Fronteira, in the Alto Alentejo, Monte do Camelo, a small farm and olive oil producer, closely follows every step of Tratturo's production. The trees, of the Galega and Cobrançosa varieties, grow in a mostly traditional, rain-fed olive grove under organic farming.

The olives are then turned into oil in the estate's own mill. The result is two extra virgin olive oils, each with its own identity.

Made only from Galega olives, the first has a green, fruity profile, with notes of nuts on the nose, moderate bitterness and a gently peppery finish. The Cobrançosa oil shows a floral, herbaceous freshness, with aromas of tomato leaf, grass and herbs, balancing bitterness and pepperiness.

Filipe and Vanessa, from Mercado Alentejano, chose these two oils from Monte do Camelo. At Ra-Ro we share the choice because our palate could not resist.
