Corticarte - Arte em Cortica

Another option for our day will be a visit to a cork processing factory, cork is the bark of a Cork Oak, with excellent characteristics, light, elastic and fire resistant, among others. Each year the bark grows, however, only every nine years should it be removed from the tree, definitely an excellent protection for the tree against heat, cold and fires. Once removed from the tree, new bark will form. Portugal is responsible for 55% of the world's cork production, valued worldwide in decorative cork coverings on walls and floors, being the ideal material for the manufacture of sporting goods, such as baseballs or handles for fishing rods. However, cork is best known for being the raw material for cork stoppers, as it allows very small amounts of oxygen to come into contact with the wine, without harming the aging process. Read less
