Amazing experience! - This was a wonderful tour led by a family who has been producing olive oil for centuries. We learned so much about olive oil production and got to try the oil they make in-house! 10/10 would recommend this experience!

Wonderful and personal tour/tasting - The tour was amazing! Not only did we learn so much about the olive oil making, we also loved learning the history of the area and seeing the architecture of the home. The tasting was wonderful, from the olive oil to the delicious fresh squeezed juice, to the breads, meat and cheese. We had a wonderful time and loved learning more about this family owned business!

Great! - Such a neat tour! We were lucky and didn't have a booking after us. We were able to stay longer and talk to the person doing our tour. She was very knowledgeable on how the Olive mill works and about Mallorca in general. Definitely a must do in Soller.

Worth to visit - It was an amazing experience. Bartolommeo, owner of the house told to us lots of historical details about the town and local olive industry. Also showed us his house and olive oil production room. At the end of his tour he kindly offered us great orange juice from his own garden olive oil and lovely cakes, made by his sister and some another food as well 🤩 we didn’t expect to get any of them.
Plus this house located in an incredibly beautiful part of Majorca, so definitely worth to visit.

Traditional Olive Methods - We had a wonderful visit at Can Det learning how olive oil is made using non-mass production methods. Our host was engaging and shared his family’s love of the land. We enjoyed Mallorcan snacks that were delicious and juicy off the tree oranges. The olive oil is divine!
