The Az-Azeytun Arbequina is born in Batea, in the Terra Alta, and here it comes in a 2 L container. It is a young extra virgin olive oil with character, obtained directly from the olives and solely by mechanical means.
It is a 100% Arbequina, with almond, walnut, artichoke, fennel and tomato, a green fruitiness and a light bitterness. A single container is the simplest way to get to know it before choosing a larger format.

Batea, in the Terra Alta
Az-Azeytun is a house in Batea, in the Terra Alta district of the Terres de l’Ebre. Its driving force, Abel Maijó, from a farming family, learned from his grandfather to work the land, the vines and the olive trees, and studied viticulture.
With that mix of craft and training he makes a young oil from the area’s varieties. Comercial Az-Azeytun XCIII SL, of Batea, in Tarragona, is the name behind the Az-Azeytun Arbequina.
