Sensory profile and tasting of Melgarejo Selección case 6 bottles
Each of the pieces that make up Melgarejo Selección case 6 bottles holds a medium green fruitiness with clean notes of tomato stalk, wild olive and crisp green apple. It is a refined extra virgin olive oil in which the craftsmanship of Jaén producers comes together, showing a balance between a silky entry, noble bitterness and a pleasant pungency.
- Nose: a penetrating fragrance with aromas of freshly cut grass, green olive leaf, and fruity hints of green banana and country almond.
- Palate: a dense, fluid passage in which the cheerful pungency accompanies, with ease, notes of mild and balanced bitterness.
- Finish: a clean, persistent sensation on the palate, ending in a distinguished, vegetal and balsamic memory after every mouthful.
Olive-growing roots and family tradition in Pegalajar
The heritage of Melgarejo reflects centuries of attachment to the land in the municipality of Pegalajar, in the province of Jaén. The family company was established in 1995 by the descendants of Francisco Melgarejo and Juana Cordero, continuing the path of excellence trodden for more than two centuries by their olive-growing ancestors. Their groves, among which El Cuchillejo is listed, are harvested at the beginning of November, preserving the oil in stainless steel tanks inerted with nitrogen.

The format of Melgarejo Selección case 6 bottles offers real practicality: one half-litre bottle can be used in the kitchen while the other five stay safe in their original case, protected from light and from exposure to outside air. This staggered system ensures that the quality of the last bottle is identical to that of the one opened on the first day. Keep the case in a dry, cool and ventilated place, away from heat sources, to ensure perfect durability. Storing it flat, with the labels facing outwards, makes it easy to pick the next bottle without moving the rest.
