Mérula 3 L Bag in Box is an extra virgin olive oil produced by Marqués de Valduezain Extremadura. It is made from olives harvested from the estate's own groves, allowing for careful control over the various stages that determine the final quality of the oil.
Mérula is crafted as a blend of different olive varieties, combined with the goal of achieving a harmonious and approachable profile. Unlike single-varietal oils with more pronounced characteristics, this blend specifically seeks a balance between intensity, freshness, and culinary versatility.
On the nose, it shows a pleasant fruitiness, with hints of fresh olive and grass accompanied by fruit and vegetable notes. On the palate, it has good structure and persistence, with moderate bitter and peppery sensations that appear in a balanced way and add character to the whole.
It is an EVOO that is especially versatile for everyday use: on toast, in salads, vegetables, soups, legumes, rice dishes, pasta, meats, fish, stews, and other preparations. The 3-liter Bag in Boxalso offers an interesting advantage for gradual consumption, as it keeps the oil protected from light and reduces its exposure to oxygen as the container is emptied.
