Moix, extra virgín olive oil from Mallorca

Mallorca combines all the characteristic elements of a Mediterranean island where the olive is part of the landscape since immemorial times. If we go back 2,000 years in history, we discover how the first specimens of olive came to the island in Phoenician and Greek boats. Later, Muslim culture with its advanced agriculture, would be installed in our lands in the 9th century. Olive groves began to proliferate and spread throughout the country, but it was with the Catalan conquest when Mallorca inherited the habit of making olive oil for cooking, incorporating it forever as a hallmark of our tasty cuisine. From those years come the terraces built on the North Coast, forming the typical terraces with olive trees. Some of those specimens, planted more than 700 years ago, still give fruits of extraordinary quality.
The cultivation of olives and the production of olive oil are agricultural activities rooted in Mallorca since ancient times and form a unique landscape in the world, that one of the Serra de Tramuntana, drawn by the hand of man, where nature has sculpted over the centuries turning the olive tree trunks into true works of art.
The old olive-grove, consisting of thousands of centennial olive trees is a natural monument that gives faith of the effort and dedication of our ancestors to get a product so appreciated today as it is extra virgin olive oil.
Consuming the authentic Mallorca oil contributes to the conservation of this beautiful natural and cultural heritage. Oli Moix aims to be one more link in the invisible chain that binds us through the centuries to an ancient culture, that one of obtaining the liquid gold, a gift from the gods becomes a privilege within reach.
