Merula Extra Virgin Olive Oil

From the same producer as our Marques de Valdueza oil, the olives for Merula are from the second harvest of the year. The added time on the trees gives this oil its characteristic flavor and a higher smoke point. The name Merula comes from the Latin word for yellow-beaked black bird, a bird that populates the Alvarez de Toledo family estate.

Morisca, Arbequina, Picual, and Hojiblanca

; Oleic Acidity:

0.19%

Flavor Profile

A perfect oil for cooking or for finishing vegetable, meat, and even desserts.
