Meet the Producer; The historic House of Álvarez de Toledo, one of Spain’s oldest noble families, has produced olive oil since 1624 on their Extremadura estate. Led by Fadrique Álvarez de Toledo, they craft Marqués de Valdueza and Merula oils, distinguished by carefully selecting olives by ripeness to create greener MdV and riper Merula. Taste it; This oil offers a complex aroma of fresh-cut grass, olive leaf, herbs, and artichoke, blending with hints of apple and almond. Its taste balances green tomato, banana, and apple with a light bitterness and a mentholated finish. Visit the Olive Grove; Located on the Perales de Valdueza Estate near Mérida, in historic Lusitania, the region’s plains and hills make it ideal for olive cultivation, continuing a Roman-era legacy of excellence in grapevine and olive production.
