Founded in 1995 by the children of Francisco Melgarejo and Juana Cordero, the business was set up to continue the olive-growing work carried out for more than two centuries by their ancestors on these fertile lands.<\/p>\n<p>The fruit comes from selected estates such as El Cuchillejo in Pegalajar, along with other groves in the provinces of Ja\u00e9n and M\u00e1laga. Harvesting starts at the beginning of November. The juice is extracted through a continuous two-phase system that preserves its organoleptic qualities intact, and it rests in stainless steel tanks protected with nitrogen.<\/p>\n<h2>Culinary uses highlighted for Melgarejo Premium Picual case 6 bottles<\/h2>\n<p>The versatility of Melgarejo Premium Picual case 6 bottles makes it the ideal choice both for dressing raw dishes and for cooking with skill. Its heat resistance and fresh fragrance suit every kind of Mediterranean preparation.<\/p>\n<h3>Raw use<\/h3>\n<p>In raw preparations it is irreplaceable for daily countryside breakfasts with bread and tomato, salads of crisp vegetables, beef carpaccio with shavings of cured cheese and Andalusian salmorejo.<\/p>\n<h3>Hot cooking<\/h3>\n<p>In hot dishes it is an excellent base for making rice and paella sofritos, baking fish cooked in salt, searing cuts of meat on the grill and enriching stews of pulses with vegetables.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Morning toast with wood-fired bread and garden tomato.<\/li>\n<li>Mixed salads of pulses, vegetables and tuna belly.<\/li>\n<li>Sofritos as a base for seafood rice and traditional paella.<\/li>\n<li>Charcoal-grilled meats, oven roasts and salt-baked fish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Six-bottle family format and storage advice<\/h2>\n<p>Having Melgarejo Premium Picual case 6 bottles of 500 ml offers the ideal balance between savings from grouped buying and perfect keeping.

Making sure the cap is closed after each service prevents harmful contact with the ambient air.<\/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>Variety<\/th>\n<td>Picual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Format<\/th>\n<td>Case of 6 bottles of 500 ml<\/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\/premium-extra-virgin-olive-oil\/\">Premium<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>In summary, Melgarejo Premium Picual case 6 bottles condenses agronomic excellence, varietal purity and culinary convenience, making it an outstanding purchase for devotees of the great extra virgin olive oil from Ja\u00e9n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Melgarejo Premium Picual case 6 bottles<\/strong> guarantees an exceptional reserve of the finest Pegalajar extra virgin olive oil for the home.
