Melgarejo Original is an extra virgin olive oil produced by Aceites Melgarejo in Pegalajar, Jaén, a town closely linked to olive groves and located in the Sierra Mágina region. This EVOO reflects the experience of a family dedicated for generations to olive cultivation and the production of quality oils.
Its production is carried out with special care in the selection and treatment of the olives, with the aim of preserving the freshness of the fruit and obtaining a clean and aromatic oil. The result is a balanced and accessible extra virgin olive oil, designed to offer a good combination of intensity and gastronomic versatility.
Its sensory profile highlights fresh, vegetal aromas, accompanied by hints of grass, olive, and subtle fruity notes. On the palate, it has a pleasant entry, followed by a moderate bitterness and spiciness that add character without overpowering the whole. The finish is clean and maintains a pleasant feeling of freshness.
Melgarejo Original is a highly versatile option for use both raw and in various culinary preparations. It can be enjoyed on toast with tomato, in salads and dressings, or as a finishing touch for vegetables, cream soups, and legumes. It is also suitable for rice, pasta, fish, and meat, making it a practical EVOO for everyday use in the kitchen.
