| It all starts with Portugalââ¬â¢s national tree, protected by a strict law that makes it illegal to cut down any cork tree in Portugal without permission from the government. It takes twenty-five years for the cork oak to grow large enough for the first stripping of the bark in the hot summer months by a highly skilled cutter, a tirador, who peels away door-sized cuttings using a specifically purposed hand-axe. |
