Pegalajar and the heritage of Aceites Melgarejo
Formed in 1995 by the descendants of Francisco Melgarejo and Juana Cordero, Aceites Melgarejo is a family enterprise that continues the agricultural legacy fostered for over two centuries by their ancestors in the Jaén village of Pegalajar, upholding dedicated farming values.
Their olives come from celebrated groves such as El Cuchillejo and lands across Jaén and Málaga. After November pressing, the oil rests in nitrogen-inert stainless steel tanks to protect its integrity. Rely on Melgarejo to enrich your dining with enduring history and proven market excellence.
