Product formats
Extra virgin olive oil produced in the Terra Alta region (Tarragona) from Empeltre olives and certified under the Protected Designation of Origin ‘Aceite de Terra Alta’.
Az-Azeytun Empeltre is made from a variety that is emblematic of Tarragona, as well as being the main variety grown in the Terra Alta region. It is made from olives whose cultivation, processing, bottling and marketing all take place within the province itself, guaranteeing quality, origin and local sourcing.
This extra virgin olive oil is young, fresh and balanced, with a character shaped by the distinctive territory where it is grown. On the nose, it is fruity with green notes of almond, green walnut, banana, olive leaf and artichoke, which later also come through on the palate. With a smooth, rounded texture, it offers a gentle bitterness and spiciness on the palate, with the sweet notes standing out slightly and resulting in a very harmonious profile.
Food pairing: This is a highly versatile extra virgin olive oil, ideal for vegetables, particularly candied or grilled artichokes, as well as bitter leaf salads, courgette cream, rice dishes, steamed or grilled white fish, mild cheeses, biscuits or sponge cakes.
Az-Azeytun Empeltre has won prestigious international awards and accolades, such as the Silver Medal at the AVPA International Competition in Paris and at Olive Japan.

Az-Azeytun is a project that stands out for producing single-varietal extra virgin olive oils from Arbequina and Empeltre olives, the main varieties of the Terra Alta region, located in the Terres de l'Ebre (Catalonia). This region boasts geological and climatic conditions that are ideal for growing olives and producing oil of exceptional quality.
Az-Azeytun is a young extra virgin olive oil with character, produced from vigorous trees and the dedication of its creator, Abel Maijó, an enterprising winegrower born in the town of Batea, in the province of Tarragona.
Factors such as a Mediterranean microclimate at around 400 metres above sea level, with a particular influence from the Pàndols and Cavalls mountain ranges in the Els Ports Natural Park, provide the necessary humidity, prevent health issues and promote optimal ripening of the olives, ensuring they arrive at the mills in excellent condition.
The terroir, with a clayey and granular structure, featuring thin layers and low organic matter content, has an alkaline reaction and is deficient in potassium and phosphorus. These characteristics directly influence the biological cycle of the olive tree and, consequently, the quality of its fruit.
Furthermore, the monumental, traditional and native olive trees of the Terra Alta region bear witness to the passage of time and the legacy of generations of farmers who have dedicated themselves to cultivating this light, dry soil, shaped by the west wind, which lends a unique character to the fruit it yields.
