Rotunda illustrating the work of removing the cork.
Portugal is the largest cork producer in the world. Half of world cork is Portuguese.
Cork is removed every 9 years. The year of the last cork removal is painted in white on the trunk.
One tree produces an average of 40 to 60 kg of cork.
The cork is extracted between May and July because it is easier to remove the cork and because the cork oaks suffer less from the extraction of the cork in hot and dry seasons (40°C).
