Az-Azeytun Arbequina is born in Batea, in the heart of the Terra Alta, and it arrives here in a 5 L container with a handle, made for everyday cooking. It is a young extra virgin olive oil with character, obtained directly from the olives and solely by mechanical means.
100% Arbequina: almond, walnut, artichoke, fennel and tomato inside a green, fruity oil with a light bitterness. With Az-Azeytun Arbequina in a container, good oil stops being measured out drop by drop and is always within reach beside the stove.

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 craft and that training 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 Tarragona.

Why Az-Azeytun Arbequina in a 5 L container
The container with a handle is the family format for everyday cooking: five litres at once, easy to move and to pour. For a home where oil is used without hesitation, it is the most comfortable way to keep the pantry full.
Keep it closed in a cool, dark place and refill a small cruet from it for daily use. That way you open the container only as much as needed, and the oil spends less time in contact with the air.
