Extra virgin Olive Oil from the heart of Maltese rural areas

Hello Merill fans,

Olive oil has always been one of the most preferred products by our esteemed clients. We select olive oil from the best farmers of the Maltese Islands who grow olive trees with passion respecting nature. The taste is impeccable and is an excellent condiment on fresh and cooked dishes. 



Feel free to contact us on info@merillecotours.com for more information. 

Tasting sessions can be organised upon request.

Il-Gbejna - The Maltese Traditional Cheese



We're so proud of the Maltese traditional "gbejna". Made from sheep milk, Maltese cheeselets are produced in two different variations; fresh, or dried. The dried ones are plain or peppered. They are featured in most of our tasting sessions, particularly in the Vine and Wine experience. 

For more details about our culinary experience drop us a line on info@merillecotours.com. Tasting sessions are organised upon request.

Merill Speciality Store - Local delicacies and much more - COMING SOON

Hey Merill fans,


It's finally cooling off here in the Maltese Islands. We still have lots of sunny days to enjoy before it gets cold (in Malta, cooler weather ranges from an average of 20 degrees Celsius during the day and 12 degrees Celsius at night). 

At Merill Eco Tours we're looking forward to Autumn. It is a great time for us, organising agri-tourism experiences and lots of delicacy tasting sessions. Olive oil, local cheese (known as gbejna) and wine tasting remain as favourites. 


We're also preparing for the festive season...Yep...Christmas is round the corner. This is the fourth year we're holding an Eco Hamper Campaign and it's getting bigger and better. A speciality store will soon open its doors to food and healthy lifestyle lovers who wish to taste and lay their hands on the most genuine and tasty local products. It will be located in the village of Hal-Qormi, the bread making village of Malta. Hal-Qormi is only 10 minutes away from the Historical City of Valletta and 20 minutes away from Mdina, the fortified city. 

Lots of Maltese products will be found under one roof. Hand made gifts, culinary delicacies and organically produced food will be available. Tasting and information sessions will be held regularly and also upon request. Village walking tours in Hal-Qormi for groups and individual travellers will be available. 

For more information contact us on info@merill.com.mt or find us on our "Merill Local Products" Facebook fan page.
