Tasting notes of the ELLA collection: ELLA i l’Ares
Nose
Freshly cut green grass, fennel, green almond, tomato leaf and artichoke, with light floral and aniseed hints and walnut setting the rhythm.
Palate
Medium-high bitterness and pungency, typical of olives picked green: an oil with nerve and presence.
Finish
Long and green, the pepperiness fading slowly and a walnut memory lingering on.
ELLA, Az-Azeytun’s signature collection
Az-Azeytun is made in Batea, in the Terra Alta, by Abel Maijó, from a farming family, who learned from his grandfather to work the land, the vines and the olive trees and studied viticulture before devoting himself to his own oil.
ELLA is his signature collection: oils from olives picked green, obtained directly from the fruit by mechanical means only, and presented in illustrated bottles that are half a present before they are even opened. Each name in the collection has its own illustration and the same intense Terra Alta character.
Where ELLA i l’Ares shines
- Bread with tomato or freshly made toast.
- Salads with bitter leaves and nuts.
- Grilled vegetables and warm pulses.
- Rice dishes and Mediterranean fish, raw at the table.
- A mature cheese with a thread of oil on top.
ELLA i l’Ares in a 100 ml bottle
A hundred millilitres is enough to get to know an intense oil properly: a few slices of toast, a special salad and a plate of grilled vegetables. The illustration turns the bottle into a gift that needs no wrapping.
Glass protects the oil, and the small bottle is finished before it loses its freshness. Once opened, close it well and keep it away from light and heat.
