This variety originates from Egypt, which is why it is also known as Moscatel de Alejandr\u00eda, and was introduced to M\u00e1laga by the Phoenicians around 1000 BC. The Greeks, Romans, and Arabs continued to maintain and improve its cultivation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Its cultivation remains artisanal, as the harvest is done manually, and the grapes are loaded onto mules to be transported to the drying areas, where they are dried to become raisins.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If we look at its organoleptic characteristics, it has a good texture, is juicy, highly aromatic, with floral notes and a complex, distinctive sweetness that is not overwhelming, as it also has a certain freshness. Additionally, it contains calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, is antioxidant, and helps regulate cholesterol, as well as prevent cardiovascular diseases and cancer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
They can be consumed directly after harvest at the end of summer, and are a real treat to enjoy, whether as a dessert or in dishes like ajoblanco. However, a large part of the production is destined for the making of raisins and wine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
