Empeltre Olive Oil

Empeltre Extra Virgin Olive Oil is our flagship product: the liquid gem of Lower Aragon, crafted by the Artal family from the olive that gives this region its name and character. A mild and sweet EVOO, from our own harvest, cold-pressed, protected by the Bajo Aragón Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), and awarded a prize in 2025. From our fields to your table, with no middlemen.

Why Our Empeltre Is Different

We are not middlemen: at Almazara Artal , we grow our own olive trees, harvest the olives at the perfect stage of ripeness, and produce the oil in our own mill. This close involvement in every step of the process is what allows us to ensure the highest quality and offer you a vibrant, fresh oil that retains all its character.

Our Empeltre is obtained through cold extraction, using mechanical processes that preserve the fruit’s properties and aromas. The result is backed by two things that most of our competitors cannot offer: the Bajo Aragón Protected Designation of Origin seal and our 2025 award from the Bajo Aragón Olive Oil Competition. Premium quality, at an olive mill price.

What Does Empeltre olive oil taste like? · Profile and Pairings

The Empeltre variety produces a golden-yellow, clear, and bright oil. On the palate, it is smooth and sweet, with elegant notes of ripe banana, apple, and almond, and almost no bitterness or pungency. It is probably the easiest oil to love: the whole family enjoys it, including the little ones and those just discovering the world of EVOO.

Its mild flavor makes it a versatile oil in the kitchen:

• Raw: It pairs well with toast, salads, grilled vegetables, hummus, and white fish.
• In baking: it adds exquisite flavors to sponge cakes, muffins, and homemade doughs (it can be used as a substitute for butter, resulting in a lighter texture).
• For everyday use: it enhances any dish without overpowering the other ingredients.

Grafting and the Bajo Aragón PDO

Our olive trees grow in a privileged setting in Lower Aragon, irrigated by the Ebro and Martín rivers, in one of Spain’s most important olive-growing regions, with trees that are often over a century old. This origin is no minor detail: the Bajo Aragón Protected Designation of Origin certifies the oil’s origin, variety, and quality.

What does this mean for you as a buyer? It means that when you choose our Empeltre with PDO certification , you can be sure you’re buying authentic Empeltre from this region, subject to quality controls, and not some unspecified blend. It’s the difference between just any olive oil and an olive oil with a name, a surname, and a place of origin.

From the Artal family to your table

Behind every bottle is a family and a way of seeing things. We’ve been tending these fields for generations, and each harvest is the result of a year of hard work, patience, and respect for the land. For us, making oil isn’t just a craft—it’s a way to share who we are.

That’s why we sell directly from our olive oil mill, so that the oil reaches your home just as it leaves here: carefully crafted, fresh, and with its entire story intact. Preparing delicious meals for your loved ones with high-quality olive oil is one of the most beautiful ways to show them you care.

How to Store Your Extra Virgin Olive Oil

To enjoy its full flavor, store your EVOO away from light and heat, tightly sealed, and away from heat sources such as the oven or stovetop. Good olive oil retains its properties best in the months following the harvest; that’s why we always use oil from our own recent harvest. If you buy the 5-liter bottle, it’s a good idea to transfer some to an opaque oil cruet for daily use and keep the bottle sealed.
