An experience like no other among Menorca’s olive groves and olive oil
To explore Menorca is to discover its wealth of nature and culture. There’s no better way to do this than through its olive oil. This food experience takes you on a unique journey involving olive groves, oil mills and tasting sessions, where you will learn about organic production and taste the island's exquisite olive oil.
Menorcan olive oil is a special token of Mediterranean history and tradition. This oil, produced on the island, is characterised by its fruity flavour and mostly organic production. Varieties such as arbequina, koroneiki, picual and empeltre thrive in the Menorcan climate, bringing unique nuances to each drop.
Some of the island's producers offer tours where visitors can discover all there is to know about the world of olive oil. These tours begin with a walk through the olive groves, where visitors can learn about the different varieties of olives grown. The next stop is the oil mill, where an expert guide explains the production process, from harvesting to cold extraction.
The highlight of the tour is the oil tasting, held on the estate itself. Here, visitors can taste the different oils produced, appreciating their fruity notes and perfect balance. This sensory experience not only delights the palate, but also connects you with Menorca's rich agricultural heritage.
Tours from producers such as Pont Modorro or Binissaida are a rare opportunity to experience first-hand the passion and care that goes into each bottle of olive oil, offering a unique insight into the island's food culture.
