Algarve Olive Oil is made on a farm in the Algarve region of southern Portugal. Maçanilha is a rare variety of olive native to the region and has a slightly spicy, fruity taste. The ripe olives are hand-picked around mid-October every year and ground with a millstone to extract the oil. This traditional Roman-era practice, ensures that the flavor of the olives is well preserved.The oil is not labeled as organic as it has not received the special certification necessary. However, the entire process from harvesting to bottling is conducted on the plantation and is scrupulously managed to ensure that no chemicals have been used and quality has been maintained. Algarve Olive Oil won the gold medal at the New York International Olive Oil Competition in 2015.
