THE IDEA – THE PROJECT:
After extensive research of traditional olive oil producers in Spain, Italy, Portugal and South America, the idea of creating a different, special organic premium olive oil for a small circle of gourmets arose. An oil manufactured like exclusive premium wine. Since 2010 an international team of specialists has been supporting this project, located in the south-eastern part of Mallorca an area which is favoured as far as climate is concerned. After extensive analysis of the local conditions, the three most suitable varieties: Empeltre, Picual and Arbequina were select and plandet in organic fields (certified ecological operation). The latest scientific observations were taken into consideration when planting and the newest technologies were used. This is all happening in order to create an organic olive oil of the best quality from the olives and to inspire gourmets. 
the Team
The desire for what is good, unspoilt and pure is what made two gourmets decide to produce their own high-quality ORGANIC olive oil on Mallorca. Our concept and our own demands at OLI DE SANTANYI are geared towards the needs of high-quality culinary art in terms of olive oil quality. We wanted olive oil produced in a way that is as fine and epicurean a way as wine. As we could not find an olive oil like this, we decided to produce our own ORGANIC olive oil of the finest premium quality on Mallorca. Dr. Dirk Müller-Busch, Ana Martinez (Germany)

MALLORCA FROM THE SEA TO THE OLIVE GROVE
SO NEAR TO THE SEA, THE OLIVES ALSO BREATHE IN THE FRESH MARITIME AIR! The OLI DE SANTANYI olive groves are located on the wonderful coast of the south-eastern part of Mallorca close to the Modragó National Park. Here, amidst the coast with its white beaches, a sea that shimmers in tones of blue and turquoise and the mountains of the Serres de Llevant, a special microclimate reigns, enabling the cultivation of organic olives of unique quality. This is where the OLI DE SANTANYI olive trees of the typical Mallorcan olive varieties, Empeltre, Arbequina and Picual grow.
