A New Chapter in Portugal’s Olive Oil Tradition

In the northern Alentejo, where cork forests meet rolling hills, Virgulino Neves has created something extraordinary—Coreana, a rare olive varietal born from the careful grafting of Koroneiki and Arbosana trees.

Pressed on-site within hours of harvest, this oil delivers a remarkable green, fruity depth of flavor, shaped by the region’s mineral-rich soil. With high polyphenol content (479 mg/kg), Coreana offers a lively balance of fruity brightness, nutty richness, and a lingering peppery finish—a true fusion of heritage and innovation.

Tasting Notes

  • Aromas: Fig leaf, green almond, and freshly cut grass
  • Flavor Profile: Bright and fruity, with hints of pine nut and a lingering peppery finish
  • Best For: Drizzling over fresh pasta, grilled seafood, or a summer tomato salad

What Makes It Special

  • A unique olive oil – One of the only Coreana olive oil's on the market, the result of innovative grafting.
  • Fast, on-site milling – Locking in flavor and polyphenol content by pressing olives within hours.
  • Sustainability meets innovation – A perfect blend of old-world tradition and modern techniques.
  • Crafted by a pioneer – Virgulino Neves has spent nearly two decades redefining Alentejo olive oil.
