The olive-growing work of Melgarejo in Pegalajar
Behind the Melgarejo name is a company founded in 1995 by the descendants of Francisco Melgarejo and Juana Cordero, who built on more than two centuries of family olive growing. Its main premises are in the Jaén municipality of Pegalajar.
The mill draws its fruit from selected plots such as El Cuchillejo in Pegalajar, as well as other groves in Jaén and Málaga. Picking starts at the beginning of November. Extraction runs as a continuous two-phase process to protect the aromatic components, and the oil rests in stainless steel tanks under a nitrogen blanket.

The culinary range of Melgarejo Premium Frantoio case 6 bottles makes it an irreplaceable partner for cooks who value clean, herbaceous flavours. Its harmonious mix of mild bitterness and moderate pungency blends easily into both traditional and contemporary dishes.
Raw use
In raw preparations it stands out over rustic bread toast, carpaccio of veal or cod, endive salads with walnuts and dressings for warm vegetables. Its fine texture wraps the food without masking its own flavours.
Hot cooking
When gentle or medium heat is applied, it releases appetising aromas that enrich pasta sauces, grilled fish, root vegetable creams and Mediterranean rice dishes.

Six-bottle format and storage advice
Having Melgarejo Premium Frantoio case 6 bottles of 500 ml offers the most balanced choice between everyday convenience and a strategic stock. The packaging protects the oil in half-litre bottles that are used up quickly once opened, so the extra virgin olive oil is always enjoyed at its best.
For best keeping, store the bottles in a dry area, away from direct light and heat sources such as cookers or radiators. Closing the cap firmly after each use limits contact with air.
