Finger-licking olives: the secret of success
This type of olive, Chupadedos, is one of the most popular in Spain, and basically for two reasons:
The dressing or sauce that they carry
And the variety of the olive
The dressing or sauce causes these olives to be consumed a lot, because it makes you "addicted to olives", why? Well, very easy, because they are very rich.
Pairing: in Made in Spain Gourmet We recommend them as an ideal tapa in an aperitif with a young wine, a vermouth or a very cold beer. They are also an ideal ingredient for salads, because their dressing gives vegetables and greens a fantastic flavor.
Artisanal olives and pickles
As always at Made in Spain Gourmet, we look for partners with whom we share the same philosophy of life, and El Mesto is a family business located in Montalbán (Córdoba) dedicated to the preparation, seasoning and packaging of table olives and pickles, with half a century of life, which above all values sharing with people the best they know how to do, handcrafted products of exceptional quality.
Its founder, Mr. Alfonso Ruz Jiménez, back in 1973, had a vision, along with his father-in-law,
José Infante Castellano, started the family business in Montalbán, in a small warehouse that was in the family orchard. His father-in-law's relationship with the world of olives went back to his youth, in the post-war period he broke olives in a garage to sell them and help the family economy.
At the beginning of the 80s they decided to create the brand that is identified, and the chosen one was EL MESTO, which is a hybrid of cork oak and holm oak.
The Mesto was an emblematic tree of Montalbán, a symbol of the town, almost a monument. An imposing 20-meter-high tree known to all, a meeting place that had once been a shelter for shepherds and peasants.
Over the years, the tree became hollow inside, and unfortunately, a strong storm in the summer of 95 knocked it down. Only part of the trunk remained, but nature was generous and a shoot began to grow, which has already reached a certain height.
In 2007 his three sons joined the business. Contributing to the company youth, knowledge and innovation, but continuing with the same process of artisan elaboration, in the same way that the grandmother did. A third generation with a spirit of renewal but who knows how to respect the value of tradition.
Certified quality
El Mesto certifies its production, packaging and marketing system with ISO 9001 standards. A certificate that supports your commitment to quality.
And in their eagerness to commit to the environment and to offer their customers a 100% healthy product, they have already launched organic products. For this, they have the certificate issued by the CAAE for the production and labeling of organic products.
They carry out rigorous quality controls and audits that make the olive the mesto a consolidated brand in the table olive market.
They use materials of first quality that allows them to obtain table olives and pickles that guarantee the satisfaction and loyalty of their clients.
This obsession with the high levels of rigor in quality policies can be carried out thanks to the absolute commitment of Senior Management and each of the members that make up the organization.
