Cork is obtained from the bark of the cork oak Quercus suber, this tree found mainly in the western Mediterranean.

It is of cyclic extraction, this extraction of the cork allows a healthy growth of the cork oak throughout its life, in which it is subjected to about 14-16 extractions of quality.
However, at Matsos® we reuse cork left over from different industries.

Cork has unique innate characteristics: resistant, lightweight, thermal and acoustic insulation, impermeable to liquids, elastic, compressible, fireproof and hypoallergenic, and 100% natural, renewable, and biodegradable.

An important part of the cork industry is located in Spain (especially in Andalucia and southern Extremadura), where about 30% of the w production is produced.
