Az-Azeytun Empeltre comes from Batea, in the Terra Alta, in a 500 ml bottle, the size of the oils people use every day. It is a young extra virgin, obtained directly from the olives and solely by mechanical means, with the personality of the monumental trees it comes from.
It is made by Abel Maijó, who learned from his grandfather how to work the land, the vines and the olive trees and studied viticulture before launching his own oil. The bottle holds a fresh profile of green grass, fennel and artichoke, with gentle bitterness and pepperiness and a sweetness that leads.
With the 500 ml Az-Azeytun Empeltre you have plenty of oil for dressing, finishing dishes and keeping a bottle on the worktop at all times.

A young oil from the Terra Alta
Batea is a village in the Terra Alta, in the Terres de l’Ebre, and it is where Comercial Az-Azeytun XCIII SL is based. The house works with the area’s own varieties and with monumental olive trees for the Empeltre that gives this oil its name.
Behind Az-Azeytun Empeltre is a farming family’s craft: the land, the vines and the olive tree as a grandfather’s legacy, and Abel Maijó’s viticulture studies as a compass for making an oil with character.

- Bread with tomato for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
- Mixed salads and chargrilled vegetables.
- Rice dishes and Mediterranean fish, finished with a raw drizzle.
