Visita a la almazara y degustación de aceites

The visit is structured around three carefully designed moments to discover extra virgin olive oil from its origin to its final tasting, in an experience that combines history, the production process and sensory analysis.

We begin with a presentation that introduces visitors to the history and trajectory of Aceites Melgarejo. In this first part, visitors learn about the philosophy of the olive mill and its commitment to high-end oils made from early-harvest olives, mainly of the Picual variety, sourced from mountain olive groves. The presentation also explains how the fruit is harvested and received, helping visitors understand the importance of every detail, from the field to the arrival of the olives at the factory.

Next, we enter the production area, where the oil comes to life. Step by step, we follow the different stages of EVOO production, from the milling of the fruit to its final conservation, discovering how technique, experience and careful handling throughout the process make it possible to obtain intense, aromatic oils with their own distinctive character. This part of the visit helps visitors better understand what lies behind each bottle and how work is carried out to maintain the highest quality.

To finish, the most eagerly awaited moment arrives: the oil tasting and sampling. Guided through a sensory experience, visitors learn to identify aromas, flavours and nuances, discovering the differences between several oils and gaining a deeper appreciation of their qualities. It is an ideal proposal to learn, taste and experience EVOO from a close, complete and authentic perspective.
