by Sa Tafona de Caimari · Selva · 4.3 · 2,237 Google

From October to December you can watch olives arrive, be milled and malaxed, with an oil tasting in the shop.

About

From October to December, at the height of the harvest, the Caimari mill lets you watch how oil is made: olives arriving, milling and malaxing until unfiltered virgin oil comes out. The mill, opened in 2002, is run by Cati Mateu Mairata and her brother Guillem, and olive growers from across the island bring their fruit there. The adjoining shop, a centre for spreading olive-oil culture, lets you taste the house oils (empeltre, mallorquina, arbequina and picual) and buy local products. The website offers no scheduled guided tour or prices: it is a free visit in season.

  • Milling and malaxing at the height of harvest
  • Tasting of four varieties in the shop
  • Restaurant and shop open Tuesday to Sunday
