An organic Picual from Sierra Mágina
Melgarejo’s olive trees grow in Pegalajar, in the Sierra Mágina district, a mid-mountain area where groves live alongside vegetable gardens and hills. The differences in temperature between day and night help concentrate the olive’s aromas.
Its organic farming, without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, keeps the soil alive and the grove rich in biodiversity.
In the kitchen with Melgarejo Picual
- Stews and sofritos.
- Chargrilled meats.
- Salads with character.
- Salmorejo and gazpacho.
In everyday cooking, this Picual shines in a sofrito for rice, in patatas a lo pobre or with chargrilled meat. Raw, over salmorejo, its peppery finish adds freshness.
An orange and salt cod salad, typical of the south, finds its ideal oil in it. And tender broad beans sautéed with an egg, mountain style, show its most rustic side.
The 500 ml bottle of Melgarejo Picual
Half a litre is the size of the household cruet: enough for several weeks of cooking and small enough for the oil to stay fresh to the end. The dark bottle protects it from light.
It is sold on its own or in cases of 6, 12 or 24 bottles. Picual is a very stable variety that keeps well once opened.
