Mergaoliva ALBA is the early harvest from Oleohiguera: Picual picked green in the first days of October and cold-extracted in Lahiguera, in the heart of the Jaén countryside. An organic extra virgin olive oil that smells of fig leaf and tomato vine.
In this 3 L bag-in-box, Mergaoliva ALBA sits in an inner bag that folds in as it empties, so air never touches the oil. Three litres of early harvest that stay fresh from the first pour to the last.
Mergaoliva ALBA at a glance
Variety- Picual
Origin- Lahiguera, Jaén
Harvest- Early, in early October
Intensity- High
Farming- Certified organic
Producer- Oleohiguera, Mergaoliva brand
Format- 3 L bag-in-box
A fruitiness that lasts, in the glass
Nose
Intense fruit recalling fig leaf, tomato plant, banana peel and almond.
Palate
Fluid, complex and balanced, with a floral hint.
Finish
Well-integrated bitterness and pepper that close the mouth with life.
An oil like this loses aroma when air reaches it, and the bag-in-box keeps it out: the last glass tastes almost like the first, which is hard to manage with a jerrycan left open for weeks.
Oleohiguera, in Lahiguera
Oleohiguera makes Mergaoliva ALBA in its mill in Lahiguera, a village in the Jaén countryside, with cold extraction and certified organic olives.
Bringing the harvest forward means less oil per kilo of olives, but in return the oil keeps the greenness and vividness that give the range its name: ALBA, the dawn of the season.
Where Mergaoliva ALBA shines
- Breakfast bread and toast, with grated tomato.
- Seasonal tomato salads.
- Roasted vegetables, added at the table.
- Fresh cheeses with a thread of oil.
- Pulses and creamy soups, to finish the dish.
With three litres at hand, early harvest stops being a treat and becomes the everyday oil: the one for tomato toast in the morning, for the midday salad and for roasted vegetables at night.
Mergaoliva ALBA in the 3 L bag-in-box
The illustrated cardboard box holds a bag with a dispensing tap. As you pour, the bag contracts and no air gets in; the box also shields the oil from light. The tap lets you serve just the right amount without spilling a drop.
It is the format for families who use plenty of oil and do not want to give up freshness. It takes little room on the counter or in the pantry and, once empty, the cardboard separates easily for recycling.
