Historical roots of Melgarejo in Pegalajar
Established in 1995 by the children of Francisco Melgarejo and Juana Cordero, the Aceites Melgarejo family business formalised agricultural endeavours begun more than two centuries ago in Pegalajar, cultivating traditional groves with unwavering devotion and deep respect for Andalusian soil.
The November harvest feeds nitrogen-inert stainless steel tanks to safeguard the purity of the extra virgin olive oil. Renowned groves like El Cuchillejo and lands across Jaén and Málaga underpin their reputation.
