    Hiking

    Cork as a material is obtained from the bark of the cork oak. However, this does not have to be felled, as is usual in wood production. On the contrary, the cork oak is the only tree in the world whose bark can be harvested from the living tree - and that regularly. A large amount of cork comes from Portugal.

    If you've ever been curious about the origin of the cork in your wine bottle, or questioned the composition of the notice board hanging in your workspace, then this guide is specifically designed to answer your queries. The cork oak, or Quercus suber, is a fascinating tree species that primarily grows in the Mediterranean region. Its unique bark is the source of the world's cork supply, a material that is used in a multitude of applications, from wine stoppers to insulation.
