Announcing Jorge’s Interview RMWorldTravel
When it comes to Esplendido Douro Olive Oil, history isn’t just part of the story – it is the story. For more than four centuries, the art of cultivating and crafting this golden elixir has been carefully handed down through generations while the wisdom required to nurture centuries-old olive trees has passed from father to son. Preserving traditions rooted in patience, respect for the land, and uncompromising quality matters.
Our exceptional, Esplendido Douro extra virgin olive oil is a 100% single-estate produced from the Trás-os-Montes region of Portugal’s legendary Douro Valley. In 2015, the brand was officially established as a global contender in the marketplace, bringing the award-winning olive oil to an elite international audience. The result? An extraordinary olive oil that reflects both timeless craftsmanship and modern excellence.
“Embracing our past carries us into our future,” says proprietor Jorge Caeiro. “Esplendido Douro is proudly rooted in quality, authenticity, integrity, honesty, and loyalty. Sharing our olive oil with the world is our passion.”
From Douro Valley to the World Stage
On January 17, 2026, Caeiro was featured on America’s #1 Travel Radio Show, RMWorldTravel, hosted by Robert and Mary Carey alongside renowned travel journalist Rudy Maxa. During the interview, Caeiro shared insights into his family’s olive oil heritage and his own remarkable career journey. Beyond his role as steward of Esplendido Douro, Caeiro also serves as Maître d’ aboard the Seven Seas Grandeur, part of Regent Seven Seas Cruises® – a brand celebrated for creating immersive, luxury experiences where every detail matters. In both hospitality and his family’s olive oil, Caeiro’s philosophy is the same: excellence lies in care, craftsmanship, and authenticity.
