About

Buy Azada Basil & Olive Oil  online from the Lunya deli.

This speciality oil is purely made from 100% Arbequina olives and, as opposed to infused oils, it is crushed and pressed together with Mediterranean basil. This means you get an incredible flavour and all the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants found in basil and olives.

Founded by Kevin Forssmann Russell, Azada was born at the start of 2009.

In the 1970s Kevin’s father bought an abandoned plot of land in Tivissa, province of Tarragona.  The plot had a small cottage on it which was surrounded by fields of almond and hazelnut trees which had long lost their yield.  His father dreamed of restoring the plot and returning to the traditional form of harvesting.

So to begin with the plot was harvested with just the use of a hoe or ‘azada’ in Spanish. During the following years 20 additional hectares were purchased on which hazelnut, cherry and olive trees could be found and the business grew from strength to strength.

 

Description

Obtained from buttery green Arbequina olives and pressed together with sweet basil. When pressed together they share an enlivening freshness, which is all natural. This beautifully, thick green olive oil is perfect drizzled over sun-scorched tomatoes, freshly cooked fettuccine or a seafood soup.
