Can Det

Centuries of Olive Oil Tradition

Mallorca’s Oldest Functioning Olive Mill

Tucked into the Sóller Valley, Can Det is a family-run estate that has been producing olive oil for more than 400 years. Recognised as the oldest functioning olive mill in Mallorca, it preserves the island’s agricultural heritage while still using traditional cold-press methods passed down through generations. The estate is surrounded by ancient olive trees, their twisted trunks bearing witness to centuries of cultivation.

A Guided Journey Through History

Visitors to Can Det are welcomed with a guided tour of the estate and mill, learning how olives are harvested, pressed, and stored. The original stone mill and wooden press are still in place, offering an authentic glimpse into pre-industrial production techniques. Guides share stories of the family’s history and the importance of olive oil in Mallorcan cuisine and culture.

Tasting the Valley’s Flavours

Every visit ends with a tasting session, where guests sample the estate’s award-winning olive oil along with local bread, ramallet tomatoes, almonds, and fresh orange juice from Sóller’s famed citrus orchards. The flavours are as much a part of the valley’s identity as its mountains and architecture.

A Rural Experience Minutes from Town

Located just outside the centre of Sóller, Can Det offers a peaceful contrast to the bustle of the main square. The combination of heritage, hospitality, and breathtaking scenery makes it one of the valley’s most memorable cultural experiences — especially for food lovers seeking to connect with Mallorca’s rural traditions.
