Az-Azeytun Empeltre comes from Batea, in the Terra Alta, 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 the simplest way to get to know this Empeltre from monumental olive trees: fruity, with light green grass, fennel and artichoke, and a sweetness that rules over the bitterness and pepperiness. Az-Azeytun Empeltre in a 2 L container opens at home and goes to the table without ceremony.

Batea, Terra Alta
Az-Azeytun was born in Batea, in the Terra Alta district of the Terres de l’Ebre. Abel Maijó, from a farming family, learned from his grandfather to work the land, the vines and the olive trees, and studied viticulture before devoting himself to his own oil.
That explains a young oil with character, made from varieties of the area. Az-Azeytun Empeltre is produced by Comercial Az-Azeytun XCIII SL, in Batea, Tarragona.

Why Az-Azeytun Empeltre in a 2 L container
The container with handle is the family format for everyday cooking: two litres you handle with one hand and that do not force you to restock every week.
Keep it closed in a cool, dark place and refill a cruet from it to keep beside the stove. If you like it, the same oil is also sold in a case of several containers.
