The Mollar pomegranate from Elche is not only one of the most iconic fruits of south-eastern Spain: it is also one of the most nutritionally complete. Grown in the Mediterranean setting of Elche, it stands out for its juicy arils, balanced sweetness and tender, edible seeds.
An antioxidant powerhouse
Pomegranate is especially rich in polyphenols and punicalagins, antioxidant compounds that help fight oxidative stress. Add to that a notable contribution of vitamin C, potassium and fibre, and it becomes a natural ally for the immune system and cardiovascular health.
Why the Mollar is different
Compared with other varieties, the Mollar de Elche is defined by its soft seed, a sweet flavour with very mild acidity and an intense colour. This combination has made it the preferred variety for fresh consumption and a quality benchmark recognised with a Protected Designation of Origin.
