Meet the Producer; The Álvarez de Toledo family, with centuries-old roots in Spanish history, has crafted olive oil on their Extremadura estate since 1624. Fadrique Álvarez de Toledo now oversees Marqués de Valdueza and Merula oils. Using the same four olive varieties, Marqués de Valdueza offers vibrant green fruit and herb aromas, while Merula has a more mature, balanced profile. The oils' distinct characters come from precise plot selection and ripeness sorting. Taste it; This oil opens with fresh-cut grass, tomato plant, fig, artichoke, banana, and apple, with a hint of cinnamon. The palate blends green apple, banana, and almond with a soft bitterness, leaving a refined, lasting freshness. Visit the Olive Grove; On the historic Perales de Valdueza Estate near Mérida, Extremadura’s plains and hills provide ideal conditions for olive cultivation, preserving a Roman tradition of quality grape and olive production.
