Coração Do Vale has officially entered the Indian market with the launch of its premium extra virgin olive oil range at an exclusive culinary showcase held at Le Méridien New Delhi.
The launch event, titled The Portuguese Pour – Chef DK’s Tasting Series, introduced Indian consumers to the Portugal-based gourmet brand through a curated dining experience celebrating Portuguese olive oil heritage and modern culinary innovation.
The brand has been introduced in India by Leads Brand Connect and sources its olive oil from the olive-growing region of Baixo Alentejo in Portugal.
Celebrity chef Davinder Kumar curated a special tasting menu showcasing the versatility of the olive oil across Indian and international dishes. The menu featured recipes such as Tomato & Raw Mango Carpaccio, Charred Sweet Potato Chaat, Pan Seared Sole with EVOO Tapenade and Rustic Carrot & Cinnamon Cake.
The dining experience also included soups, mains, desserts and a signature olive oil-infused mocktail designed to highlight the product’s flavour profile.
Richa Khandewal said the launch aimed to combine India’s evolving gourmet culture with the craftsmanship of Portuguese olive oil traditions. She noted that the collaboration with Chef DK provided an ideal platform to introduce the brand to premium Indian consumers.
Chef Davinder Kumar described the olive oil as balanced and versatile, highlighting its fruity notes, creamy texture and peppery finish derived from a blend of Portuguese olive varieties including Arbequina, Arbosana, Cobrançosa, Picual and Galega.
The olive oil is produced using early harvest and cold extraction techniques to preserve antioxidants and maintain low acidity levels.
Positioned as a premium gourmet and lifestyle product, Coração Do Vale is targeted at consumers seeking luxury culinary experiences and high-end gifting options. The brand is currently available through its direct-to-consumer platform, Amazon India and select gourmet stores across Delhi-NCR.
