Welcome
to one of the world’s most exceptional extra virgin olive oils produced and bottled at a single estate in the historic Tras-os-Montes region of the Douro Valley, Portugal. Prized for its aroma and richness of flavor, Esplendido Douro has won gold medals for best in class. The unique rocky terrain with the diverse climate in this protected growing area is ideal for growing olives. We have cultivated olives here for 400 years. That’s experience!
The golden green oil is exceptionally fragrant with a spicy peppery finish. Elegant and distinctive, Esplendido Douro is the secret ingredient to every dish and a lovely finishing oil!
At Esplendido Douro we pick our blend of 4 olives at their optimum ripeness to produce a rich and fruity extra virgin olive oil with a supreme taste, perfect balance and harmony.

I’ve lost track of the number of olive oils we have been asked to taste. Most are good, often expensive, but still just “good.” Occasionally we see one that is exceptional, such as here, and that’s when we get excited. At the end of the day, our food is only as good as the ingredients we select. This oil from Esplendido Douro has a delightful spicy note, without being bitter. It is delicious right out of the palm of my hand!”
