Awards

Flos Olei

There are a host of important national and international olive oil competitions across the world from New York to Tokyo and in places traditionally associated with olive oil such as Italy and Spain. Among all of these competitions, the Italian Flos Olei guide is one of the most prominent and has become a point of reference for judging the world's best olive oils. Each year the 500 best oils are given grades out of 100. There are additionally 20 clearly defined award categories ranging from the oil itself, to certain characteristics, the labour, and method of cultivation. The editorial team consists of certified and experienced Italian olive oil tasters as well as their international network.

The Azeite Romeu from Quinta do Romeu has been listed in the Flos Olei Guide since 2015 and has steadily improved its grading over the years. In 2018 and 2019, it scored 95 points.

Olive farm

The family-owned Menéres olive farm has been passed on from generation to generation since 1874. Located in the north-east of Portugal, in the Norte region in Alto Trás-os-Montes, the farm produces olive oil, wine and cork. The farm exclusively practices organic farming.

Region and Processing

The olive farm Quinta do Romeu is located at the site of an old cloister in the Portuguese province of Norte on the shore of the Duoro (UNESCO World Heritage Site) near the northern border with Spain. Operated by the Menéres family since 1874, the farm is home to 15,000 olive trees spread over 150ha of land. Over the last 20 years, the farm has completely converted to organic cultivation. The all-natural cultivation lends the fruits their unique aroma, while promoting biodiversity. The olive oil is also particularly rich in beneficial nutrients.
