Melgarejo Original 2.5 L is an extra virgin olive oil produced by Aceites Melgarejo in Pegalajar, a town in Jaén located in the Sierra Mágina region. This family-owned olive mill has a long history with olive groves and applies its expertise to crafting oils that seek to combine quality, freshness, and versatility.
The process begins with a careful selection of the olives and continues in the mill under controlled conditions to preserve the fruit's natural characteristics. Melgarejo Original thus offers an accessible and balanced profile, designed both to be enjoyed directly raw and to be incorporated regularly into various recipes.
On a sensory level, fresh olive aromas and herbaceous sensations predominate, accompanied by vegetal notes and soft fruity hints. On the palate, it has a pleasant entry, followed by moderate bitterness and pungency that add character without being overwhelming. The finish is clean and has good persistence.
Its balance makes it suitable for numerous preparations: toast, tomato, salads, vegetables, soups, and dressings, as well as rice dishes, pasta, legumes, fish, and meats. The 2.5-liter format is particularly convenient for households and kitchens with frequent consumption of extra virgin olive oil.
