Batea, in the Terra Alta
Az-Azeytun was born in Batea, in the Terra Alta district of the Terres de l’Ebre in Catalonia. Behind it is Abel Maijó, from a farming family, who learned from his grandfather to work the land, the vines and the olive trees, and studied viticulture before devoting himself to his own oil.
From that inherited trade comes a young oil with character, made from the area’s own varieties. Az-Azeytun Arbequina is signed by Comercial Az-Azeytun XCIII SL, from Batea, in the province of Tarragona.
Where Az-Azeytun Arbequina shines
- Bread with tomato, with a generous pour on top.
- Salads, dressed raw so the green fruit comes through.
- Chargrilled vegetables, straight off the fire.
- Rice dishes, to finish the plate at the table.
- Mediterranean fish, with a thread of oil at the end.
Why Az-Azeytun Arbequina in a 250 ml bottle
The glass bottle protects the oil and is convenient for serving at the table. With 250 ml you have just the right amount to get to know this Arbequina without committing to a large container: it goes happily between tomato bread and salads.
Once opened, close it tightly and keep it away from light and heat. If you like it, the same oil is also sold in cases of several bottles.
