Melgarejo and its olive-growing tradition in Pegalajar
The Melgarejo company was founded in 1995 by the children of Francisco Melgarejo and Juana Cordero, with the purpose of continuing the olive-growing work carried out for more than two centuries by their ancestors. The mill is located in the municipality of Pegalajar, in the province of Jaén.
The estate manages groves on several farms, among which El Cuchillejo in Pegalajar stands out, alongside other land in Jaén and Málaga. Harvesting takes place at the beginning of November. The juice is obtained through a continuous two-phase extraction system designed to protect its organoleptic qualities, and it is then stored in stainless steel tanks inerted with nitrogen.
