An extra virgin for cooking

The olives for this oil are picked around November, at a medium-high ripeness, when the fruit is full. The result is an oil of medium fruitiness, with grass, apple, tomato and green almond.

Its palate is fresh and sweet, with very softened bitterness and pepperiness, which makes it easy to use in any recipe without overpowering the other ingredients.

The Melgarejo mill

In Pegalajar, in the heart of Sierra Mágina, the Melgarejo family makes its oils from the olives of its estates in Jaén and Málaga. The company was founded in 1995, but the craft goes back much further: more than two centuries of generations devoted to the olive grove.

Its Premium range brings together five oils from the best fruit of each year, and the house has received recognition such as second prize from the International Olive Council for intense green fruitiness in 2012, along with medals at international competitions in Los Angeles and Israel.

In the kitchen

  • Sofrito, stews and pulses.
  • Home frying.
  • Roast meat and fish.
  • Salads.
  • Home baking.

With twelve litres at home, extra virgin reaches every recipe, from the morning toast to the Sunday stew.

Two-litre jugs suit small businesses well, such as neighbourhood bars or rural guesthouses, where plenty of oil is needed but storage space is limited. Each opened jug is finished within a few weeks and the oil always reaches the plate fresh.

Six two-litre jugs

The 2 L jug is light and easy to handle, and allows one to be open while the others stay sealed. Twelve litres cover several months of family cooking.

The jugs are best kept in a cool, dark place, away from heat.
