Azeite do Ribatejo DOP is the protected-origin olive oil of the Tagus valley, the region that includes Abrantes. It is usually mild, fruity and golden, with the native Galega olive at its heart.
The simplest way to taste it is the Portuguese way: drizzled over warm bread with a pinch of salt. Look for the DOP seal on the label in local shops and take a bottle home.
