Olive Oil Festival in l'Albi

Don't miss the Olive Oil Festival in Albi on March 2nd!

Every year, the municipality of Albi, in the region of Les Garrigues, hosts the Olive Oil Festival, an event dedicated to one of the most emblematic products of the region: extra virgin olive oil. This celebration combines gastronomy, culture and tradition, becoming an essential event for lovers of good cuisine and local products.

Les Garrigues oil is renowned for its excellent quality and intense flavour, thanks to the Arbequina and Vera varieties. During the festival, you can taste the first oils of the season, enjoying their freshness and authenticity. In addition, several stalls offer the possibility of buying recently produced oil directly from the producers, ensuring the highest quality and boosting the local economy.

Apart from the tastings and the purchase of olive oil, the festival includes a wide range of activities for all audiences. You can see traditional demonstrations of ancient olive pressing techniques, which allow you to understand how this product was made centuries ago. Children's workshops are also organised, where the little ones learn about agriculture and the importance of olive oil in the Mediterranean diet. Craft stalls complete the offer with local products such as honey, nuts and handmade items. One of the most eagerly awaited moments of the day is the popular breakfast, where you can taste toasted bread with extra virgin olive oil, sausages and other local specialities, a gastronomic experience that reflects the essence of the region.

Taking advantage of your visit to Albi to explore the region of Les Garrigues is a highly recommended option. Its landscapes of olive groves and dry stone buildings are part of Catalonia's natural and cultural heritage, offering a unique setting to enjoy an unforgettable day.
