Tradition and mill of Melgarejo in Pegalajar
Under the Melgarejo brand is a company founded in 1995 by the descendants of Francisco Melgarejo and Juana Cordero, who formalised the agricultural activity carried on for more than two centuries by their ancestors. The mill is based in the municipality of Pegalajar, in the province of Jaén.
The harvest comes from representative estates such as El Cuchillejo in Pegalajar, together with various groves in Jaén and Málaga. Picking is carried out at the beginning of November. The juice is made through a continuous two-phase extraction system that preserves its organoleptic properties, and it is stored in stainless steel tanks inerted with nitrogen.
