Merula EVOO Spanish, 175ml
Merula is the Latin word for “yellow-beaked black bird”— birds that flock to the 200 hectares of the Perales de Valdueza estate. Chefs and connoisseurs flock to
Marques de Valdueza’s Merula extra virgin olive oil for its buttery, mouth-melting feel and bright green notes of cut grass, bitter almond and dried fruit. Merula is an early harvest oil that lends a versatility in the kitchen.
Origin: Extremadura, Spain
The Alvarez de Toledo family has produced some of
the world’s finest olive oils for over 500 years, gracing
the tables of Europe’s nobility. Merula is the latest in this centuries’ old tradition of respect for nature, attention to the environment and dedication to craft.
Uses: A perfect oil for high heat or for finishing vegetables, meat, and even desserts.
