SimõesBeira Baixa olive oil is mainly produced with Galega cv. Galega olive ouil is veryu stable and provides flavour and taste that are traditional for portuguese consumers. Bical and Cordovil de Castelo Branco cvs. are also important in the olive grove of the region.

- Oil content of three olive cultivars (Olea europaea L.) in Beira Baixa (Portugal)Publication . Alves, M.C. Pinheiro; Lopes, P. Simões; Henriques, Luís; Peres, Maria de FátimaThe three main cultivars of Olea europaea L. at Beira Baixa are Galega vulgar, Bical and Cordovil de Castelo Branco. Humidity and oil content, by NMR, for the monovariety olive pastes were studied for two years, 1998/99 and 1999/2000.The results showed that Galega vulgar had significantly lower oil content when compared with Bical and Cordovil de Castelo Branco; but Bical and Cordovil de Castelo Branco did not differ significantly from each other concerning this parameter.The humidity values observed for the three cultivars are significantly different: Cordovil presents similar values during the three harvests while Galega vulgar and Bical showed their maximum values at the second harvest.
