Aceites Melgarejo: olive milling mastery in Pegalajar

Packaging and storage for the six-bottle case
Six 500 ml bottles provide the ideal size for kitchen countertops and dining tables, ensuring fast turnover before oxidation sets in. Keep Melgarejo Original case 6 bottles in a cool, dark larder away from warm kitchen appliances.
A case of six bottles is a convenient middle option for a household that cooks several times a week. Store the case in a cool, dark place, such as a cupboard or utility room, and move a single bottle into the kitchen when you need it. This keeps the rest of the stock protected from light and warmth. Use the oil to dress salads, to finish cooked vegetables and legumes, and to brush fish or chicken before grilling. For sweet and savoury baking, such as an olive oil cake or flatbread, the oil adds a clean, rounded taste. When serving it as a condiment, offer it alongside sea salt, black pepper and fresh bread so that everyone can season to taste. Six bottles also make a practical present for a dinner host or a neighbour who loves to cook. Cooks who like to experiment can also try it in a simple herb marinade, where a spoonful of oil carries garlic, lemon and parsley onto the surface of the food.
