A vacation lesson about why cork is Certified Slow. 

In Portugal, where ~50% of the world’s cork is produced, a tree is planted to be first harvested only 25 years later. 

This first harvest, while useful, is the poorest quality the tree will produce.

That’s truly fascinating! It’s amazing how nature teaches us patience and the value of time. The journey of cork truly reflects a commitment to quality and sustainability. It's a beautiful reminder that the best things in life often require the most waiting. Portugal's dedication is commendable!
