Mallorca is a land of olive trees. For centuries, they have shaped the island’s landscape and become an essential part of its history, gastronomy and culture. The extra virgin olive oil produced here is more than food — it is heritage, identity and pride.
At S’Establit, we carefully tend three varieties that give us a unique harvest each season: empeltre, picual and arbequina. Each brings its own character, and together they define the essence of our oils.
Empeltre: tradition and smoothness
Empeltre is one of the oldest and most valued Mediterranean varieties. Its name comes from empeltar, the Mallorcan word for “to graft”, which was the traditional method of propagation.
Its oil is smooth, delicate and slightly sweet, with notes of almond and ripe apple. It is perfect for those seeking a balanced, elegant oil — ideal on rustic bread with tomato, fresh salads or fish.
Picual: intensity and character
Picual is the most widely grown variety in Spain and also has a strong presence in Mallorca. Its oils are easily recognised by their intensity and bold personality.
They offer a marked flavour, with a touch of bitterness and spice that reflects their high antioxidant content. Picual not only brings strength to tastings but also offers excellent stability, making it ideal for cooking and preserving food.
Arbequina: freshness and aroma
Arbequina, well adapted to the Balearic climate, is perhaps the most aromatic variety in our olive grove.
Its oils are fruity and delicate, with notes of green apple, banana and sometimes almond. With a light texture and balanced flavour, it is perfect for dressing vegetables, pairing with fresh cheeses or adding an elegant touch to desserts.
At S’Establit, we believe richness lies in diversity. That is why we care for our three varieties with equal dedication, convinced that each contributes something essential to the experience of tasting Mallorcan extra virgin olive oil.
The result is an organic, authentic oil recognised under the Oli de Mallorca designation of origin — a guarantee that protects local value and ensures quality.
