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. The goal of this study is to understand the role of the composition of the monovariety olive oils (mainly fatty acid composition and total phenol compounds) on the quality of Beira Baixa olive oil. Results for sterols are also shown.engGalegaBicalCordovilMonounsaturated fatty acidsPolyunsaturated fatty acidsOxidative stabilityMediterranean dietjournal article. https://doi.org/10.17660/ActaHortic.2002.586.136
