About us
To explain who we are, we have to talk not only about ourselves, but also about our town, our region and our trees.
Every story has a beginning
Guillem Bauzà Ramis, Toni’s great-grandfather, bought Son Cuixa, our estate. Toni’s grandmother, Francisca Bauzà Mascaró, inherited it some years later. She was passionate about working the fields. Together with some other estates, they grew cereals and vegetables. They also had five cows.
The first olive trees are planted
Llorenç Galmés Bauzà planted the first olive trees and started a new project on those lands along with a partner: Antoni Riutort Siquier, his brother-in-law.
We start mulling over the idea of a shift to organic farming. It is a new way of thinking about earth and soil
A wildlife reserve is also created to preserve the diversity of nature.
After having prepared the soil for almost three years, our first bottle of organic olive oil comes out on the market
We launch a new collaborative project together with other farmers: Reis de Mallorca
We intend to go international and to make the most of the synergies among small-scale producers. We also participate in international fairs, such as BIOFACH, in Nüremberg, where we have obtained several quality hallmarks.
Antonio Galmés Bauzà (Llorenç’s son) and Pau Riutort Siquier (Toni’s son) get actively involved in the project
They provide the project Oli Duntemps with renewed energy and enthusiasm. They come up with new ideas that are step by step becoming reality.
An automated drip irrigation system is installed
Since water is an increasingly scarce resource, this was a mandatory decision in order to improve efficiency in water use.
We implement new technologies from a respectful perspective
Antoni Galmés decided to create a website and contacted Estudi Llimona to develop it. Tarek Serraj has taken on the pictures. Apaema offers us agronomists’ help in order to install humidity sensors, so that we can continue to make efficient use of water, which has become a scarce resource in recent times.
Our goal
So far we have told you how we got here and what we do, but... where would we like to go?
We would like to become leading models of organic olive oil production and agroecology. We like to add on to small things’ value. Instead of industrial and repetitive production, we prefer respecting our land and the resources we have. Becoming rich is not our goal. Our goal is to add to Mallorca’s value and to give back to earth a part of what it gives us.
