Melgarejo Selección 2.5 L is an extra virgin olive oil produced by Aceites Melgarejo in Pegalajar, Jaén, in the Sierra Mágina region. The experience of this olive-growing family and the care applied throughout the entire process result in an EVOO designed to combine aromatic richness, balance, and versatility.
The selection of the olives and their processing at the mill are focused on preserving the natural freshness of the fruit. The result is an expressive and pleasant oil, with enough personality to stand out when used raw, and, at the same time, a balanced profile that makes it suitable for everyday cooking.
On the nose, green nuances predominate, with hints of fresh grass and tomato accompanied by notes of apple, almond, and other fruity and vegetable tones. On the palate, it has a pleasant entry and a balanced evolution, where bitterness and pungency add character without being excessive. Its finish is fresh and maintains good aromatic persistence.
Thanks to its versatility, Melgarejo Selección can be used on toast, tomatoes, salads, and vegetables, as well as to accompany legumes, rice dishes, pasta, fish, and meats. The 2.5-liter format is especially practical for households and kitchens where extra virgin olive oil is part of daily consumption.
