ROMEU Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) comes from an organic farm Quinta do Romeu run by Menéres family. Quinta do Romeu was founded in 1874 by Mr. Clemente Menéres. It is located in the Trás-os-Montes region in Portugal's north east. Wines and olive oil produced in this region are PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) certified.
Quinta do Romeu produces one of the world’s finest olive oils, as well as high quality wines and cork. The estate is entirely run under certified Organic Farming which means no chemicals are used in farming.
Romeu Olive Oil contains no additives or preservatives. It is pure juice of olive. It is said in Portuguese "PURO COMO DEUS O DEU" (it is pure as God has given it). As with any product of the very highest quality, Romeu Olive Oil is produced in limited amounts, dependent on the estates own olive grove production. Romeu Olive Oil is made exclusively from Menéres family olive trees of the local native varieties: Cobrançosa, Verdeal Trasmontana and Madural.
Varieties
Cobrançosa, Verdeal Trasmontana and Madural, all native to this Protected Designation of Origin.
Production:
Olives are harvested from November to December. Both manual picking
and mechanical vibration are employed. Olives are processed at the estates own exclusive mill on the very day of their harvest, or on the following day at the latest, to ensure the olives freshness. The olives are washed in pure water before being crushed in a granite mill; the resulting paste is submitted to slow mixing, and the olive oil is then extracted by cold extraction.
- What is done to the residues?
Residual waters and solids are placed in an evaporation tank and once dry are mixed with manures and other organic residues from the farm, to be composted over the winter, spring and summer. The compost obtained in this manner is of high nutritional value and is returned to the land the following winter, concluding a natural cycle in which all natural resources are valued and made the most of.
- Where is it bottled?
Romeu Olive Oil is bottled by Quinta do Romeu in 25 cl and 50 cl darkened glass bottles.
- Is the olive oil subject to any form of refining?
No.
- Does it contain additives or preservatives?
None whatsoever. Romeu Olive Oil is pure juice of olive.
Tasting notes:
Green/yellow in colour with intense grass, flower and olive aromas. In the mouth it is rounded, dense and fluid;
starting with a hint of sweet almonds, followed by fresh olives, assorted greens and an extremely long and
complex finish with a spicy hint that is not at all sour. This is a subtle olive oil, with a delicate personality that is
not overly potent whilst revealing a grand elegance and harmony.

Introduction to how to eat organic extra virgin olive oil
As a salad dressing
Salad dishes can be prepared and matched to your liking. The Easiest Salad Dressing in Extra Virgin
Mainly olive oil, plus an appropriate amount of balsamic vinegar (three parts olive oil and one vinegar). Vinegar can also be replaced by other sour flavorings, such as: lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, etc., and more vinegar can be made from red wine and fruits, such as cherry vinegar, blue plum vinegar, apple cider vinegar, etc. This salad dressing is free of hydrogenated fats, low in salt and sugar.
For dipping bread
Bread dipped in extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar is a typical Italian way of eating. You can also add black pepper, sea salt or lemon juice to the olive oil according to personal taste.
Pour over cooked veggies
Extra virgin olive oil can be drizzled over blanched or baked vegetables, as well as over baked meat and seafood.
For marinades
Extra virgin olive oil is added to the meat's marinade for a smoother, more tender texture.
For frying
Although extra virgin olive oil has a lower smoke point than other commonly used cooking oils, it can also be used for cooking. In order to avoid destroying the nutrients of extra virgin olive oil as much as possible, add oil in a cold wok, and the heating time of the oil is slightly shorter than that of other cooking oils.
For raw drink

Mediterranean residents and residents of olive oil-rich regions believe that drinking one to two teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil every day before getting up for breakfast is good for health.
