Az-Azeytun Oliana in 250 ml is the table bottle: not so small that it vanishes in two meals, not so large that it gets forgotten. An oil from Batea, in the Terra Alta, made only from Oliana, a recent variety that here shows its green, fresh side.
Almond, walnut and artichoke make their way onto the nose, and on the palate comes a clean fruitiness with a light bitterness. It is an oil for finishing the plate at the last moment, when it shows the most.

A young house in Batea
Abel Maijó grew up in a farming family in Batea, in the Terra Alta, and learned from his grandfather to work the land, the vines and the olive trees. He studied viticulture and, with that craft behind him, began making his own oil under the name Az-Azeytun.
The result is a young oil with character, obtained directly from the olives and solely by mechanical means. Az-Azeytun Oliana is the expression of a recent variety in the Terres de l’Ebre.
Where Az-Azeytun Oliana shines

Why Az-Azeytun Oliana in a 250 ml bottle
It is the everyday table size: it holds a few weeks of dressings and finishing touches, and gets used before the oil loses its freshness. The glass bottle protects the oil and is convenient for serving.
Once opened, close it tightly and keep it away from light and heat, and away from the hob.
