Empordàlia – Oli de Pau 500 ml

A distinctive extra virgin olive oil from the heart of the Empordà. Empordàlia’s Oli de Pau is made exclusively from olives harvested from centuries-old trees, bringing the character of north-eastern Catalonia to the table. The natural blend of the regional Argudell and Corivell varieties combines intense fruitiness with remarkable aromatic depth.

Its profile is distinctly green and fresh, with aromas reminiscent of freshly cut grass and green olives, complemented by delicate notes of artichoke, tomato, fennel and other fresh herbs. On the palate it is complex and balanced, beginning with a subtle sweetness before developing a pronounced yet elegant bitterness and a slowly building peppery finish. This interplay gives the oil its distinctive intensity and authentic Mediterranean character.

Empordàlia’s unique character comes from its deep connection with the region. The cooperative brings together small producers from the Empordà who have cultivated the land for generations. Centuries-old olive trees, indigenous varieties and the region’s distinctive climate form the foundation of the oil. The Tramontana, the famous north wind of the Empordà, together with the rocky landscape and proximity to the Mediterranean, contributes to the distinctive local terroir. Oli de Pau carries the protected designation of origin DOP Oli de l’Empordà and was awarded 90.5 points in the 2025 Catalan guide to extra virgin olive oils.

Its expressive flavour makes Oli de Pau exceptionally versatile. It is ideal for dressing salads, Escalivada, tomato bread and vegetable dishes, while its intensity also makes it an excellent choice for traditional Catalan dishes, sauces and casseroles. It pairs beautifully with grilled fish and meat, and its complex character is especially enjoyable when drizzled over a finished dish just before serving.

With its intense green fruitiness, distinctive regional olive varieties and deep connection to the landscape of the Empordà, Oli de Pau is much more than an olive oil. It is an authentic expression of Catalan olive-growing heritage and Mediterranean cuisine.
