Az-Azeytun Arbosana comes from Batea, in the Terra Alta, and in this 2 L tin it is presented as its producer makes it: extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from the olives and solely by mechanical means.
It is a single-variety Arbosana, a small olive that usually yields fresh, fruity oils. Two litres sit right between the table bottle and the large container: enough for several weeks of cooking, without the oil being forgotten.

An oil from Batea
Az-Azeytun is a house of the Terra Alta, in the Terres de l’Ebre. Its founder, Abel Maijó, grew up in a farming family and learned from his grandfather to work the land, the vines and the olive trees before studying viticulture and devoting himself to his own oil.
From that path comes Az-Azeytun Arbosana: a young extra virgin with character, made from the area’s own varieties. Comercial Az-Azeytun XCIII SL bottles it in Batea, Tarragona.
What Az-Azeytun Arbosana is for
- Bread with tomato for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
- Summer and winter salads, dressed raw.
- Chargrilled vegetables, such as peppers or aubergine.
- Fish or vegetable rice dishes, with a thread at the end.
- Mediterranean fish, baked or grilled.
Why Az-Azeytun Arbosana in a 2 L tin
The tin shields the oil completely from light. It is the pantry format: keep it in a cool cupboard and refill an everyday cruet from it.
If you want a middle size to try Az-Azeytun Arbosana, 2 L leaves room to cook generously and is still finished in good time. Close it well after each use.
