About the Brand – MERGAOLIVA

MERGAOLIVA is a small, family-run company based in Jaén, Spain — a region known as the cradle of olive oil. Founded by the Mercado and Gavilán families, the brand’s name is a tribute to its roots, combining the first letters of both family names with the word “Oliva”, reflecting their deep connection to the land and its olive-growing heritage.

For generations, the family has worked the traditional olive groves of Jaén with dedication and care. Over time, their passion for olive oil evolved into a desire to produce their own Extra Virgin Olive Oil, paying close attention to the selection and maturity of the fruit, and applying precise, respectful methods during the milling process.

The result is a range of high-quality, organic EVOOs with unique flavor profiles, crafted with a strong commitment to sustainability, health, and cultural preservation. Each batch is made under strict standards to ensure excellence and authenticity.
