The cordovil olive exists in abundance, alongside with the galega in every municipalities of the Nordeste Alentejano, mainly in Marvão, Castelo de Vide and Portalegre, where we acquire it.

This olive, or rather its name, is in the process of recognition as Denominação de Origem Protegida (Denomination of Protected Origin), having the Caderno de Especificação e Regras de Produção do Produto Azeitona de Mesa do Norte Alentejano (a notebook where are specified the production rules of the product Olive from Nordeste Alentejano), been delivered by APAFNA, SA (Group of Agricultural and Forest Producers from Nordeste Alentejano) in the IDRHA (Rural Development and Hydraulic Institut), for the respective analysis.

The cordovil olive is characterized by its medium or large size (caliber from 180 to 240 fruits per kg), by its excellent profit in oil and as being equally appropriated to use in conserve.

It is harvested during the months of September and early October, when the fruit has not reached yet its full maturity, presenting greenish or pinkish coloured parts, coming from here the legal name of "mixed olives", in other words, between the green and black.
