We have bottled our fresh Ponte de Pedra Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Central Portugal in our generous Cubana 700ml bottle. This first class Extra Virgin Olive Oil has been cultivated amongst many other delightful shrubs and plants, which we believe you can actually taste.
We particularly enjoy its unique taste of figs, combined with the slight pepperiness, this Portuguese Extra Virgin olive oil is one you will be reaching for again and again.
Bottled in our handsome Cubana 700ml bottle, this would make for a fantastic gift for those who enjoy healthy eating without cutting back on the flavour. Whether it is Easter or Father's Day, this gift is one they will make the utmost use out of.
How is it best used?
There are many ways to enjoy this aromatic olive oil, we highly recommend taking a look at our 10 Minute Burrata Starter Recipe where we generously drizzled it over fresh Burrata from Puglia in a tomato salad. In this recipe, we combined this oil with our popular Black Garlic Balsamic Vinegar and when you try these two together, you will understand why!
Whether you are combining this Portuguese olive oil with our balsamic dressings, or one of our fruity vinegars, like our Raspberry Vinegar or Bramble Vinegar, you will be in for a winner. This oil pairs incredibly well with all kinds of flavours due to its fruity side as well as its peppery side. We appreciate its versatility highly!
Please be aware that this natural fibre will settle after time and can then be used for adding a little extra flavour into your cooking. A simple drizzle of this oil on a strong green leafed salad, with possibly a little cracked salt over the top, and you will have released a little magic.
How is this made?
Quinta Ponte de Pedra has about 300 trees, varying in age form 25 to 120 years old. There are four olive varieties - Galega, Cornicabra, Picual, Arbequina. The older and larger trees are Galega, a traditional Portuguese olive variety.
Galega is typically described as delicate to medium-intense, with soft, sweet, and persistent aromas. Tasting notes often mention ripe or slightly green fruit, with hints of apple or fig, and balanced bitterness and pungency rather than aggressive spice.
Typically each batch taken to the press will be combined with approximately 15% of the Cornicabra, Picual and Arbequina varieties, to increase the yield, add some bitter notes and further increase shelf stability of the olive oil.
Quinta Ponte de Pedra olives were harvested by hand in late October – early November, after an unusually hot and dry summer followed by plenty of rain just in time for harvesting.
It took a team of eight, 12 days to pick the 4 tonnes of olives. The 2025 yield was high and returned 600 litres of liquid gold!
The 2025 harvest of Ponte de Pedra Extra Virgin Olive Oil has an recorded acidity of 0.19 ± 0.02 % and Peroxide Value of 5.0 ± 1.1 me O2/kg, well within the range for Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
