Melgarejo Clásico 2.5 L is an extra virgin olive oil produced by Aceites Melgarejo in Pegalajar, Jaén, a town located in the Sierra Mágina region and closely linked to olive-growing culture. This product offers a traditional and balanced profile within the oil mill's range, designed especially for enjoying a good extra virgin olive oil on a regular basis.
During production, special attention is paid to the quality of the olives and their processing at the mill. The goal is to maintain the freshness of the fruit and achieve an aromatic and pleasant oil, with enough personality to be appreciated raw and, at the same time, the versatility needed for use in numerous culinary preparations.
Sensory-wise, it presents aromas of fresh olives and grass accompanied by various vegetal and fruity nuances. Its mouthfeel is balanced, with a pleasant entry and a moderate presence of bitterness and pungency. These sensations add character to the oil without being overpowering, leaving a clean and harmonious finish.
Melgarejo Clásico can be used on toast, salads, tomatoes, vegetables, and all types of dressings, in addition to being a good option for rice dishes, pasta, legumes, fish, and meat. Its 2.5-liter format is especially practical for homes and kitchens where extra virgin olive oil is a frequently used ingredient.
