INFO: This community based cooperative founded in 1917 was to support the local community and farming heritage. Celler Masroig have created a cycle of re-investment for the community, producing both olive oil and a variety of wines from their 400 ha of surrounding land.

The soils in their area are a blend of compact, calcareous with sedimentary material and reddish clay. There are also outcrops of Llicorella, the siliceous slate layers famous in the Priorat DOC, mixed within some of their vineyards. All of their vines are hand harvested and the majority are old vines of varying ages.
