Sobreiro represents generosity, resiliency, reliability, and transformation. In Portuguese “Sobreiro” refers to the Cork Oak Tree (“Quercus Suber”). The Cork Oak is unique as it is the only tree that can have its bark removed, without harm to the tree. Living up to 300 years, the Cork Oak’s bark grows to re-harvest every nine years. As the Portuguese saying goes, “plant a Cork Oak for your grandchildren”.

Each Sobreiro Candle comes with a natural cork bark stopper, which absorbs the candles scent and can be used as a diffuser after the candle is long gone. It serves as a reminder for us to keep on giving, to keep on evolving, to renew ourselves, and to constantly be there for others.
