Protected Designation of Origin for olive oil from Les Garrigues, made with the arbequina variety, introduced to the comarca in the 18th century by the Duke of Medinaceli from Palestine and regarded as one of the best in the world for its consistency and quality. The oil is noted for its low acidity and its gastronomic qualities, suitable both for raw consumption and for frying and stews. The comarca, one of the leading olive-growing areas of Catalonia, has an oil route that allows visits to its cooperatives and mills.
