With Melgarejo Selección case 4 tins, cooks have a generous supply of Jaén oil for every everyday recipe. At Espai Oleum we arrange the dispatch directly from the Pegalajar mill, so that the protective packing keeps the purity and vivid aroma of the oil intact during long periods of storage in the pantry.
Sensory profile and tasting of Melgarejo Selección case 4 tins
The juice held in Melgarejo Selección case 4 tins shows an exemplary harmony, keeping a medium green fruitiness full of well-defined natural nuances. When tasted, it stands out for clear notes of fresh cut grass, green banana skin and wild olive. Like every authentic Sierra Mágina olive oil extra virgin, it offers a clean structure and a perfect balance between sweetness, pungency and bitterness.
- Nose: green aromatic intensity with memories of young olive branches, garden tomato and soft notes of mature country apple.
- Palate: a fluid, velvety texture with a silky entry and a noble medium bitterness, accompanied by a progressive and balanced pungency.
- Finish: a broad, vegetal aftertaste that leaves a lasting sensation of freshness in the throat and on the palate after each tasting.
Historic mill and family heritage in Pegalajar
The prestige of Melgarejo is built on a solid family tradition rooted in Pegalajar, in the province of Jaén. The company was founded in 1995 by the children of Francisco Melgarejo and Juana Cordero, masterfully carrying on the legacy that their olive-growing ancestors practised for more than two centuries. Estates such as El Cuchillejo receive a harvest picked from the beginning of November, and the oil is kept in stainless steel tanks inerted with nitrogen.
