Olive Auction built this page from public records so buyers can find the estate. Its own people can claim it at no cost — complete the story, list lots, answer buyers.
After a claim, we confirm by emailEverything here comes from public sources — award lists, certification registers, the territory inventories. The rest of the story — the family, the grove, the real age of the trees, this year's lab sheet — only the mill can tell, and it is the part buyers bid on.
Oli Solivellas presses at Es Guinyent, a farm in Alcúdia at the northern end of Mallorca, less than a kilometre from the Bay of Pollença and close to both the Mediterranean and the Serra de Tramuntana. The holding is old ground: Guinyent appears as an Islamic alquería in the Llibre del Repartiment of 1232, and a published reading of the name traces it to the Arabic for gardens. The olive business on it is much more recent: Pep Solivellas started Oli Solivellas in 2002, the same year the Oli de Mallorca designation of origin was created, and the company is still wholly family-run, with the founder's son managing it.
Roughly 85,000 square metres of the farm is under olives, planted on calcareous soil at sea level. Arbequina and picual are the varieties registered with the designation of origin, which recognises those two alongside the local mallorquina; the family also grows hojiblanca, frantoio, koroneiki and picuda for blending. Fruit is picked early, while it still carries green, and taken within hours to cold mechanical centrifugation with no chemical agents. Yield is deliberately low, nine kilos of olives to a single litre, and the finished oils are held at no more than 0.2 degrees of acidity against the 0.8 permitted for extra virgin. Between the Solivellas and Oli s'Illa labels, about 50,000 bottles come off a season.
