TRADITION

The farm S´Alquería Blanca is documented in the archives of Bunyola at the beginning of the 12th century during the period of Muslim domination. The term "Alquería" comes from the Arabic, and means "agricultural center".

It is a farm with a typical agricultural tradition of the Serra de Tramuntana, where its main activity was the production of olive oil. It achieved its maximum splendor in 1888 where it won the silver medal for the best olive oil at the UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION IN BARCELONA. Agricultural activity was not only based on oil, but they also collected carob beans, almonds, cereals and had a large flock of sheep.

OUR OIL
