Abel Maijó and Az-Azeytun, in Batea
Az-Azeytun began in Batea, in the Terra Alta, with Abel Maijó. In a farming family, his grandfather taught him to work the land, the vines and the olive trees, and he went on to study viticulture before setting out with his own oil.
That mix of countryside and study gives a young oil, made from the area’s own varieties. Comercial Az-Azeytun XCIII SL, in Batea, is the one that signs Az-Azeytun Arbequina.
