The historical strength of Melgarejo
Aceites Melgarejo is a family enterprise established in 1995 by the children of Francisco Melgarejo and Juana Cordero to sustain the olive wisdom practiced for over two centuries by their forebears in Pegalajar, sheltered by the peaks of Sierra Mágina.
Their methodology includes storing the olive oil in stainless steel tanks protected by nitrogen within their Pegalajar facilities. They own renowned parcels such as El Cuchillejo and lands in Jaén and Málaga. Explore the Melgarejo collection in our specialised boutique to enjoy oils of high repute.
