The commercial firm was formally established in 1995 by the children of Don Francisco Melgarejo and Do\u00f1a Juana Cordero, continuing the family olive trade carried out over two centuries in this mountainous territory.<\/p>\n<p>The company farms historic estates including El Cuchillejo in Pegalajar, together with parcels across Ja\u00e9n and M\u00e1laga. Harvesting begins in early November, storing the freshly extracted oil in stainless steel tanks protected with nitrogen under the supervision of the Sierra M\u00e1gina Designation of Origin.<\/p>\n<h2>Recommended culinary uses for Melgarejo Cosecha tin 2.5L<\/h2>\n<h3>Raw applications<\/h3>\n<p>Without thermal treatment, this oil is splendid for drizzling over sliced heirloom tomatoes with wild oregano, finishing steamed fish fillets, dressing char-grilled vegetables or finishing vegetable soups right before dining. Its gentle fragrance accentuates ingredients without dominating their natural taste.<\/p>\n<h3>Cooking and warm dishes<\/h3>\n<p>In cooking pans, Melgarejo Cosecha tin 2.5L demonstrates remarkable endurance and thermal balance. It is ideal for saut\u00e9ing onion and pepper bases, roasting golden crisp potatoes or preparing oven-baked meats seasoned with mountain herbs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Traditional Spanish pisto with fresh garden tomatoes, peppers and courgettes.<\/li>\n<li>Baked sea bream resting on a bed of thinly sliced potatoes and sweet onions.<\/li>\n<li>Braised green lentils stewed with farm carrots and bay leaves.<\/li>\n<li>Morning slices of artisan sourdough drizzled with olive oil and cured ham.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Packaging and storage for the two-and-a-half-litre tin<\/h2>\n<p>Metal tins are renowned for shielding contents against direct light and oxygen, stopping premature oxidation in its tracks. To enjoy Melgarejo Cosecha tin 2.5L to its fullest, store the tin in a cool, temperate spot in your kitchen pantry, keeping the cap tightly fastened after refilling your daily table cruet.<\/p>\n<p>Because the tin is opaque and sturdy, it suits a busy kitchen where the oil is used every day. Keep a smaller bottle filled for the table and leave the tin sealed in a cool cupboard. For a fresh start to the day, drizzle the oil over toasted bread with ripe tomato, or stir a spoonful into warm porridge or yoghurt. At lunch it works well in grain salads, bean stews and vegetable gratins. Use it to finish grilled fish, roast chicken and pan-cooked mushrooms just before serving. In the evening, a light drizzle over steamed greens or a bowl of soup brings a clean, green freshness to the plate. Reseal the lid firmly after each use and avoid leaving the tin uncovered on the counter, so the oil stays as fresh as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>Product details<\/h2>\n<table class=\"ficha\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand<\/th>\n<td>Melgarejo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Format<\/th>\n<td>Tin of 2.5 L<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Harvest<\/th>\n<td>2026\/2027<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Category<\/th>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/espaioleum.com\/en\/category\/family-reserve-extra-virgin-olive-oil\/\">Family Reserve<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Enjoying <strong>Melgarejo Cosecha tin 2.5L<\/strong> at home gives you dependable Andalusian extra virgin olive oil, sheltered by sturdy packaging and blessed with the aromatic freshness that defines traditional Pegalajar olive farming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Melgarejo Cosecha tin 2.5L<\/strong> is a practical metal container that protects extra virgin olive oil from direct light, preserving a fresh aromatic profile with leaf and green apple nuances for sauces and vegetables.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ficha-rapida\">\n<li>Format: tin of 2.5 L<\/li>\n<li>Origin: Pegalajar, Ja\u00e9n<\/li>\n<li>Use: daily cooking, roasts and vegetables<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wpac-harvest\"><strong>Harvest:<\/strong> 2026\/2027<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6109,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"pwb-brand":[380],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[319],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-5847","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","pwb-brand-melgarejo","product_cat-family-reserve-extra-virgin-olive-oil","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"group_of_quantity":0,"min_quantity":0,"max_quantity":"","exclude_order_quantity_value_rules":"no","exclude_category_quantity_rules":"no","combine_variations":"no","acf":[],"brands":[{"id":380,"name":"Melgarejo","slug":"melgarejo"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/espaioleum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/espaioleum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/espaioleum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/espaioleum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/espaioleum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pwb-brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/espaioleum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pwb-brand?post=5847"},{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/espaioleum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5847"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/espaioleum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5847"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/espaioleum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
