The olive tree, a symbol of peace, wisdom and abundance, has deep roots in the Portuguese landscape. The history of olive oil in Portugal is closely linked to Roman times. When the Romans conquered the Iberian Peninsula, they brought not only their laws and culture, but also their knowledge of olive cultivation. They soon saw the potential of the Portuguese climate and soil for the production of high-quality olive oil.
The Roman heritage is still visible in the Portuguese landscape. All over the country you will find old olive groves with ancient trees. These trees bear witness to a long tradition of olive cultivation and olive oil production. The knowledge and expertise that the Romans handed over formed the basis for the Portuguese olive oil- industry as we know it today.
The olives are coming back on the trees. In a couple of weeks the new olive harvest starts again. At House of Style we love olives and everything related to them. It also brings us back into summer atmospheres and brightens up the whole house, making us happy. In addition, using olive oil is also healthy with low calories, so a win win.
