Description Melgarejo Picual 500 ml
An extra virgin olive oil of the very highest quality, Melgarejo Picual EVOO comes from the high-altitude olive groves of the El Cuchillejo estate in Jaén. Its unique character comes from early harvesting in October and a careful production process that combines tradition and modernity, making it one of the most awarded oils in the province of Jaén.
Its sensory profile surprises with an intense fruitiness blending green notes of freshly cut grass and spices. Its aromatic complexity opens the door to new taste experiences, with fresh, lively nuances that define its personality.
On the palate it is balanced and elegant. Bitterness and pungency appear harmoniously, leaving a fresh sensation with a light fruity memory. Its richness in polyphenols and healthy compounds makes it as tasty as it is beneficial.
On the nose it offers a complex fruitiness reminiscent of green olive, wild herbs and light spices. An intense, fresh combination that conveys the essence of the Jaén landscape.

Frequently asked questions
The colour of olive oil can vary and is not always the same. It depends on several factors, such as the olive variety, the time of harvest and the production process. Early harvest oils have an intense green colour due to their high chlorophyll content, especially just after production. Over time, towards the end of the season, this shade can turn more golden or yellowish. This variation is natural and does not affect flavour or quality.
Early harvest oils are usually produced between October and November and stand out for their intensity and freshness. Ideally, enjoy them within the first 9–12 months after production to appreciate all their qualities. Although they do not expire, they do lose aromas and properties over time. Our advice: always choose oil from the current harvest and use it as soon as possible to enjoy it at its best.
Early harvest olive oil is made from olives picked before they reach optimum ripeness, usually between October and November. This process takes more effort, as green olives yield less oil and are harder to harvest, but the result is a superior extra virgin olive oil with intense, fresh and fruity flavours. These oils also have a high content of antioxidants such as polyphenols, which makes them healthier and more aromatic.
To keep your extra virgin olive oil in perfect condition, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Ideally keep it between 16 °C and 22 °C, and always tightly closed to prevent oxidation. Keep it away from heat sources such as the hob or direct sun. If you have bought a large container, you can fill a smaller bottle for everyday use and keep the rest well protected. That way it will keep all its flavour, aroma and properties for longer.
