The Legacy of Can Axartell’s Ancient Olive Trees
At Can Axartell, in the northeast of Mallorca, the ancient olive trees tell stories of flavour and tradition. From their own oil mill, they produce high quality organic extra virgin olive oil under the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) ‘Oli de Mallorca’. Notes of artichoke, fennel and nuts evoke the Mediterranean spirit in each bottle, the result of a sustainable nature-friendly process.
Can Axartell is a unique spot in the Tramuntana mountains, where ancient olive trees, some over a thousand years old, are the lifeblood of the oil it produces. These lands have seen centuries of tradition, now coupled with modern techniques to create an extra virgin olive oil under the ‘DOP Oli de Mallorca’ label. The estate is home to 40 hectares of native olive groves, which are farmed organically. In the oil mill, known as a tafona, the olives are pressed at their peak ripeness to preserve the oil’s characteristic fruity and herbal notes.
This process respects traditional methods while prioritising sustainability and quality. A visit to Can Axartell is a truly immersive experience: you can wander through ancient olive trees, taste olive oil and enjoy pairings with exclusive wines. Every drop of its olive oil reflects the Mediterranean essence, a tribute to Mallorca’s lush nature and rich history.
