Elixir of ancient olive trees
Visit the olive oil mills of Ibiza on a delicious route that will reveal the special features of the island's extra virgin olive oil
Discover the elixir of Ibiza's centuries-old olive trees through its extra virgin olive oil, a product with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). Immerse yourself in the island's long olive-growing tradition and enjoy a sensory journey that will connect you with Mediterranean history and landscape.
Olive oil production in Ibiza has a long history dating back to ancient times. Its tradition has been kept alive and has evolved to the present day, where you can experience the production of this liquid gold in four olive oil mills (or trulls, in the dialect of Ibiza) that are still active. Each of them offers a unique perspective on the art of oil making and invites you to explore their traditional methods and high quality products.
Can Miquel Guasch, in Santa Eulària des Riu, is one of the most outstanding olive oil mills in Ibiza. In 2008, the family decided to convert their land to olive cultivation, planting over 3,000 olive trees of the arbequina and picual varieties. These olive trees include arbequina and picual monovarietals, as well as a coupage of both varieties.
Oli Eivissenc des Trull de Sant Joan S.L. is another highlight on your olive oil tourism tour. This oil mill, located in the region of Sant Joan de Labritja, focuses on preserving traditional production techniques. An excellent place to experience the authentic taste of Ibizan olive oil.
El Trull de Can Rich, in Sant Antoni de Portmany, is known for its focus on quality and sustainability. Here, the oil is produced with deep respect for the environment and traditional techniques. You will discover how the combination of ancient and modern practices contribute to a final product that reflects the unique character of the island.
Finally, el Trull de Joan Benet, in Benimussa (Sant Josep de sa Talaia), will offer you an authentic experience in the heart of the Ibizan countryside. This mill, which also follows the Aceite de Ibiza PGI, is known for its attention to detail and its commitment to producing oils with exceptional flavour and character. Immerse yourself in the local olive culture and appreciate the art of olive oil production in its purest form.
Each of these olive oil mills provides an opportunity to explore the richness of the gastronomy of Ibiza and to promote the local and sustainable economy. A gesture as simple as appreciating local production is to recognise the efforts of Ibizan entrepreneurs, reward the passion they put into each bottle, and a great way to immerse yourself in the essence of Ibiza's countryside!
