Thousand-year-old olive tree

The superiority of the Can Det oil isn’t only due to their good production practices, but also the excellent quality of the raw material. The oil is made with olives from exceptionally ancient trees. In fact, one of the olive trees on the Can Det estate, of the native Empeltre variety, was recognised as Best Monumental Olive Tree in Spain 2020.

The Spanish Association of Olive Municipalities (AEMO) awarded this prize to the family, noting that the tree was probably planted by Muslims in the 9th century, meaning it would have been a first-hand witness to the re-conquest of the island by Christian troops in the 13th century.
