Az-Azeytun Oliana is an extra virgin olive oil from Batea, in the heart of the Terra Alta, made from Oliana, a young variety that still has plenty to say. In a 5 L container it is the oil for homes where the stove never rests: always within reach and rarely running out halfway through a recipe.
Behind Az-Azeytun Oliana is Abel Maijó, a countryman raised among vines and olive trees who decided to make his own oil. The result is an extra virgin with character, green and fruity with a light bitterness, made to reach the table without fuss and to be used generously.

How it tastes
Nose
It opens with almond and walnut, and the artichoke follows, a vegetal aroma that brings freshness and a hint of the vegetable garden.
Palate
Green and fruity, with fennel and tomato peeping through the taste of the olive, and a light bitterness that gives structure without hardness.
Finish
The bitterness fades gently and leaves a clean vegetal memory, the kind that makes you reach for another piece of bread.
From Batea, in the Terra Alta
Az-Azeytun was born in Batea, in the Terra Alta district of the Terres de l’Ebre. Abel Maijó comes from a farming family: from his grandfather he learned to work the land, the vines and the olive trees, and he studied viticulture before devoting himself to his own oil.
It is a young oil made from the area’s own varieties and obtained directly from the olives solely by mechanical means. Oliana, a recent variety grown in the Terra Alta, is the soul of Az-Azeytun Oliana.

- Seasonal salads, dressed raw so you can notice its character.
