Camp de Cervià de les Garrigues

The Camp de Cervià Cooperative, founded in 1914 in Cervià de les Garrigues, produces extra virgin Arbequina olive oil and sells it directly at their farm shop. You'll find four oils, each with its own distinct character: Vergroc, Verllum, Besses Premium, and the organic oil, certified by the CCPAE. You can also purchase them online.

A century-old cooperative

On September 20, 1914, fifteen members founded the Cervià Agricultural Cooperative and Rural Savings Bank. Since then, it has grown and modernized its factory, becoming the cooperative that produces the town's olive oil. Its oil is marketed as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Les Garrigues.

The oils

They are all made from Arbequina olives, hand-harvested and milled shortly after harvesting.

Vergroc

Ripe and fruity, with aromas of tomato and raw almond. It comes from a late harvest, when the olives have already ripened and browned on the tree, hence its predominantly sweet character. It is smooth and very well-balanced, and can be used both for cooking and for eating raw.

Verllum

A more intense oil, made with still-green olives and by decantation. It is dense, with notes of fresh grass and leaves. It enters the palate sweet, but the bitterness and spiciness are noticeable in perfect balance. Available from the second half of January.

Ecological

Oil from organically grown Arbequina olives, cultivated without pesticides or herbicides. Hand-harvested and milled within 24 hours. The fruit is at its optimal ripeness, with a predominance of deep purple, ripe olives. This organic extra virgin olive oil acquires golden hues and retains the profound flavor and aroma of the ripe olive. Camp de Cervià is certified by the CCPAE, which guarantees to the consumer that the techniques used in organic agricultural production are respectful of the environment and people.

Besses Premium

Extra virgin Arbequina olive oil with a fresh, green, medium-intensity fruitiness and notes of ripe fruit. The initial taste is sweet and pleasant, followed by a persistent and balanced bitterness and spiciness. Secondary aromas of freshly cut grass, green almond, artichoke, green banana, and tomato stand out, along with ripe banana, which defines its sweetness on the palate.

Overall, it is a highly complex oil, rich in aromatic and gustatory sensations, while also being robust and very pleasant.
