Sensory profile and tasting of Melgarejo Clásico pack 2×500 ml
When you bring this extra virgin olive oil to the glass, a clean and lively green fruitiness is noticeable at once, full of countryside suggestions. Its bright green tone with golden touches reflects the purity of a juice made with care in Jaén for the enjoyment of everyone at the table.
- Nose: Fresh aromas of olive, freshly cut grass, green apple skin and light floral and tomato-plant notes.
- Palate: A silky texture with a sweet entry, a very mild bitterness and a pleasant, delicately spiced pungency.
- Finish: A fresh, lasting and clean aftertaste, with herbaceous notes that linger on the palate without overwhelming it.
The Melgarejo mill in Pegalajar
The reputation of this oil rests on the work of Melgarejo, a mill based in Pegalajar, in the province of Jaén. Managing estates such as El Cuchillejo and other areas of Andalusia makes it possible to monitor the vegetative state of the grove closely throughout the agricultural year.
Harvesting in early November means olives are picked at a very suitable moment of ripeness. In the cellar, storage in stainless steel tanks under inert nitrogen protects the aroma of this pack, guaranteeing uniform quality in each bottle of the set before it reaches homes.

Advantages of the two-bottle pack

To keep Melgarejo Clásico pack 2×500 ml at full aromatic strength, store the bottles in a fresh, dry pantry shielded from light. Tightening the stopper after each use prevents contact with air and keeps the fruity vitality intact for weeks of regular consumption.
