Tasting Mediterranean Alentejo Portugal is well known for its authentic native cuisine and its multifoliate array of wines, as well as for being a beloved holiday destination. But how many people know about Alentejo? The region whose wines are the most popular in Portugal itself? And what does anybody know about the olive oils grown in Alentejo? No question, olive oil and wine form the two pillars upon which the Mediterranean lifestyle is based. For this reason, the olive oil producers’ association ‘Casa do Azeite’ and the winegrowers’ organisation ‘Vinhos do Alentejo’ are cooperatively instituting the campaign ‘Taste Mediterranean’, in order to share the essential information concerning these southern Portuguese products with the rest of the world.
