Aceites Melgarejo: olive milling tradition in Pegalajar
The Melgarejo company traces its historical roots to the town of Pegalajar, nestled within the southern province of Jaén. Formally established in 1995 through the direct initiative of the children of Don Francisco Melgarejo and Doña Juana Cordero, the enterprise carries forward the olive farming dedication that their ancestors cultivated across two centuries in these Andalusian lands.
The mill oversees historic family groves such as El Cuchillejo in Pegalajar, alongside complementary parcels in Jaén and Málaga. Harvesting begins in early November, quickly transporting freshly picked olives to the mill for extraction at ambient temperatures. The resulting oil rests safely in stainless steel tanks inertised with food-grade nitrogen, protected under the strict quality standards of the Sierra Mágina Designation of Origin.
