Olis Bellaguarda
In Bellaguarda, a small town in Les Garrigues, olive oil is not just a product: it's a way of life, a legacy passed down through generations, and a symbol of identity. The Bellaguarda Agricultural Cooperative, the town's driving force for agriculture for decades, is the meeting point for local producers and the birthplace of one of the most highly regarded extra virgin Arbequina olive oils in the region.
Camp de Bellaguarda Cooperative: a story made with effort
Founded by local farmers, the cooperative is a place where a production model based on collaboration, respect for the land, and traditional techniques is kept alive. The olive trees, many of them centuries old, grow in the dryland typical of Les Garrigues, giving the fruit an intense and aromatic character.
This unique environment and the work of the producers result in an oil painting that reflects the personality of the region and the dedication of the families who work there. A combination of landscape, tradition, and daily effort that yields a product of exceptional quality.
An arbequina olive oil with its own unique character
The extra virgin Arbequina olive oil produced in Bellaguarda stands out for its smooth, fruity, and balanced profile, with characteristic notes of almond, apple, and freshly cut grass. Extraction is carried out using olives selected at their peak ripeness, resulting in a clear oil with low acidity and a silky texture that makes it ideal for both cooking and enjoying raw.
The entire process, from harvesting to bottling, is carried out with care and respect, ensuring that each bottle maintains the authentic essence of this product so closely linked to the culture of Les Garrigues.
Visits, tastings and experiences
The cooperative offers the opportunity to visit its facilities and learn firsthand about the olive oil production process. During the visit, participants can enjoy guided tastings, where they learn to identify the aromas, nuances, and textures of a good extra virgin olive oil.
This experience allows one to understand the artisanal work of the farmers and discover how, behind each drop of oil, there is constant work, linked to the land and the landscape.

Bellaguarda is surrounded by olive groves, almond trees, and dry-stone walls, elements that form part of the area's cultural heritage. This arid landscape is essential to understanding the character of the olive oil and to connecting with the essence of Les Garrigues, a region where the relationship between the people and the land is profound and inseparable.
