The best local producers Balearic Islands

In 1996 Joan Benet decided to create the first extra virgin olive oil in Ibiza with the aim of recovering the intense and fruity flavour of his childhood oil, while endowing it with the sweetness and delicacy it lacked. Today it is produced for human consumption and is marketed under the name Oli d'Ibiza. Served in the best restaurants on the island, you can buy it directly from his estate (by making a small phone call beforehand), or in the island's grocery stores.

Oli de Menorca (Menorca Oil) is an association created 10 years ago (2014) on the initiative of several producers on the island. Today, thanks to their combined efforts, they are able to offer a top-quality, organically grown product. The varieties grown on the island? Arbequina, koroneiki, picual and empeltre. What makes Menorca oil special? The olives are harvested when they are still very green! The result? A top-quality extra virgin olive oil! A truly gourmet, local product!

Morvedra Vell is the name of this ideally located lloc (in the southern part of the island, not far from the superb coves of Cala Turqueta and Cala Macarella). Here, a top-quality olive oil is produced directly from olives harvested on the estate, using mechanical cold-pressing processes. Several varieties are grown here: arbequina, picual, olivó and a typical Balearic graft. An award-winning oil you can't get enough of.
