Explore olive groves and discover the secrets of Oli d’Eivissa, a key ingredient in Ibiza’s cuisine
Ibiza is home to so many wonders that some often don't get the attention they deserve. This is the case for Oli d’Eivissa, a high-quality olive oil with its own personality. Discovering how this liquid gold is made is an experience that allows visitors to connect with Ibiza's rich farming heritage.
Oli d’Eivissa, with its Protected Geographical Indication (IGP), plays a crucial role in Ibizan cuisine. The Phoenicians introduced the olive tree to the island and it’s been a part of everyday life ever since. This product is made with great care and known for its medium-to-strong intensity and freshness.
Some of the most outstanding producers include Balanzat, Can Rich, Can Miquel Guasch, Ca n'Andreu and Can Benet. Lots of restaurants on the island use this wonderful local product, which can also be found in many shops. Some of them allow visitors to learn about the art of olive oil production up close. With advanced booking, tourists can immerse themselves in the traditional methods and meticulous care that goes into making this product.
One producer that offers tours is Can Benet. Its grove is located in Benimussa. This estate not only produces exquisite olive oil, but also offers a full tour of the olive grove with a tasting session. Joan Benet oil is a blend of the arbequina and picual varieties, resulting in a highly nuanced, long-lasting taste.
Exploring these estates and tasting their oil is a special way to connect with the heart of Ibiza and its wonderful traditional food.
