About the Merino Brand

This Spanish brand specializes in the production of high-quality extra virgin olive oils, with a strong focus on health, purity, and excellence at every stage of the process. Its flagship product is a limited-edition EVOO made exclusively from early-harvest Picual olives, handpicked from high-altitude groves in Jaén, between 700 and 900 meters above sea level.

What makes this oil truly exceptional is not just its origin, but its richness in polyphenols—natural antioxidant compounds that have been widely studied for their anti-inflammatory properties and their role in protecting blood lipids from oxidative stress. Merino exceeds the standards set by the European Union, reaching over 15 mg of hydroxytyrosol and derivatives per 20 g of oil, far above the average for gourmet oils on the market.

Its growing environment—pollution-free and bathed in sunlight—contributes to the development of an incredibly stable oil that maintains its optimal properties for over 30 months.

Merino is more than just an oil; it’s a commitment to health and authentic flavor. An ideal choice for those who value quality, traceability, and wellness in every drop.
