The Olive Harvest at La Finca
Mallorca’s Liquid Gold
Mallorca is not just a paradise of sun-soaked beaches and hidden coves — it is also an island of ancient traditions, fertile land, and exquisite flavors. One of the most magical times to experience this is during the olive harvest at La Finca, where the art of producing olive oil comes alive in every step of the process.
Year-Round Care for Perfect Olives
At La Finca, the journey of every olive begins long before harvest. Our dedicated gardeners tend each tree throughout the year, pruning, watering, and monitoring their health with meticulous attention. This year-round care ensures that every olive reaches its peak ripeness, capturing the essence of Mallorca’s sun, soil, and climate.
When harvest season arrives, the olives are handpicked with care, a tradition that reflects both respect for the land and the knowledge built over years of cultivation. Each tree, nurtured through every season, produces fruit that is rich, flavorful, and full of character.
From Orchard to Bottle
Once collected, the olives are washed and cold-pressed within hours, preserving their aroma, flavor, and nutritional value. This traditional process transforms the humble olive into liquid gold — the extra virgin olive oil that is the pride of Mallorca.
The result is an oil that is fruity, vibrant, and aromatic, carrying subtle notes of grass, almonds, and the island’s sun-drenched terroir. Each drop reflects not only the olive itself but the careful cultivation of the land, the attention of our gardeners, and centuries of expertise.
A Taste of Mallorca
Guests staying at La Finca or La Villa have the unique privilege of taking this experience home — literally. A freshly bottled bottle of olive oil is provided during your stay, a souvenir that captures the essence of Mallorca. It’s perfect for drizzling over fresh bread, salads, or even enjoying as part of a sunset picnic on the property.
