Olive oil with lemon

Azada Lemon Olive Oil, Organic Lemon Olive Oil from Tarragona

Azada Lemon Olive Oil is an organic olive oil from Tarragona in which fresh lemons are pressed directly with Arbequina olives. No lemon flavoring, but real lemon juice in the oil – fresh, fruity, summery. Gluten-free, vegan, organically certified.

Azada Lemon Olive Oil is an organic extra virgin olive oil from Tarragona, produced by pressing fresh lemons together with Arbequina olives in the company's own mill. The Forssmann family founded the brand in Tivissa in 2009. Gluten-free, vegan, lactose-free – a balanced summer olive oil that enlivens salads, fish, and carpaccio.

Fresh lemon, almond, and green grass

Azada Lemon Olive Oil has a bright scent of fresh lemon, behind which lie the typical Arbequina notes of grass and almond, with a balanced fruitiness on the palate.

The oil flows elegantly and smoothly on the tongue, with a clear lemon note resulting from the pressed fruit itself – not from added flavoring. The acidity is distinct but not aggressive: lemon that perks up a salad without overpowering it.

Character in comparison to lemon-flavored oils or lemon essential oils: here you notice the juice, not the aroma. The fine sweetness of the Arbequina olive carries the lemon note and makes the oil well-rounded. A balanced, youthful-tasting organic olive oil that sees more use in summer than in winter.

Where there is summer, there is lemon

Azada Lemon Olive Oil is an all-around oil for light summer cuisine – over salads, with fish, for marinating carpaccio, in mayonnaise, and in vinaigrettes.

Naturally, it is a classic for green salads, fish and seafood, grilled chicken, and sautéed asparagus. But try it for whipping up a mayonnaise, over fresh carpaccio with Parmesan, as a fresh kick for lentil or couscous salads, or simply on warm toast with avocado.

The lemon aroma is most intense when first opened. The natural citrus juice is not as volatile as lemon essential oil – but for full freshness, it is worth using the bottle relatively quickly in the summer rather than letting it sit for months.

For your pantry, it is worth combining it with the pure version for dishes without lemon and the orange version for a different citrus profile.

Lemons and olives, together in the mill

At Azada, the lemons go into the company's own mill along with the Arbequina olives and are pressed together – no subsequent steeping, no added flavoring.

Fresh, sun-ripened lemons are washed and pressed whole with the Arbequina olives – meaning the peel and juice go into the oil together. This gives the lemon olive oil a full fruity note without concentrating the essential oils of the peel as is the case with lemon essential oil. A different way of seasoning, a different interplay of aromas.

Behind Azada is the Forssmann family from Tivissa in the province of Tarragona, who founded the brand in 2009 with Josep Maria Mallafre. Kevin Forssmann describes the brand concept as "the taste of Spain on your plate" – this applies to every variety; for the lemon olive oil, that means Mediterranean summer cuisine from the north of Spain.

The lemon olive oil comes from the company's own mill in Tarragona in two sizes: a white 100 ml glass bottle for a first try and a 225 ml tin can for your pantry – both with the signature Azada branding.

An honest citrus oil from Spain – one that sounds more like summer than any imitation aroma.
