Cork is the bark of an oak tree known botanically as quercus suber. The tree is an evergreen that grows only in areas bordering the Mediterranean. Portugal represents approximately 50% of the world's cork output, Spain accounts for 25% and the remainder comes from Algeria, France, Morocco, Italy and Tunisia.
Cork is composed of dead cells that accumulate on the outer surface of the cork oak tree. Harvests occur at nine-year intervals, when the cork layer reaches a thickness of 1-2 in 12-5 cm). The harvest from a young tree yields about 35 lb (16 kg) of cork, while the yield for an older tree may be 500 lb (225 kg).
