Now you can listen to the stories of olive oil: audio has arrived on the blog.

Innovation continues to shape Azeite a Norte's path. From now on, all website visitors can listen to the "Azeitonas de Sabedoria" blog articles in audio format, making the experience more accessible, inclusive, and adapted to new digital habits.

There are stories that deserve to be told in every way. And in Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro, each centuries-old olive grove, each producer, each drop of PDO olive oil has a story to share. From today, these stories also have a voice.

The Azeite a Norte blog, "Azeitonas de Sabedoria" (Olives of Wisdom), is launching an automatic audio feature in all articles, in English and Portuguese (like this one!). Just one click and you can listen — instead of reading — to news about olive tourism, award-winning olive oils, Trás-os-Montes routes, gastronomic events and everything that happens in this region where olive oil is a living culture.

How does audio work on the blog

Simple, intuitive, and accessible. In each blog post, you'll now find an audio player at the top of the article.

Just:

1. Click the "▶ Listen to this article" button

2. Choose playback speed (1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x)

3. Continue browsing while listening (audio continues in the background)

4. Pause, resume, or rewind whenever you want

   
   

The voice is natural, clear, and in Portuguese (or English) — as if someone were whispering the story in your ear.

Why did we create this feature

The agri-food sector is evolving — and so is communication.

With the introduction of audio format in articles about olive oil, olive tourism, international awards, innovation and the gastronomy of Trás-os-Montes, we now offer:

• Content accessible to people with visual impairments

• Reading on the go (while driving, walking, or working in the field)

• A more immersive and intimate experience

The goal is simple: to take the stories of olive oil further in an easy way. Because we know you don't always have time to stop and read. But you can always listen.
