The centuries-old olive trees in Mallorca, especially in the Tramuntana, were introduced by the Phoenicians a thousand years ago. The Romans expanded cultivation, and the Arabs later developed oil extraction. For a long time, the farmers in the Tramuntana lived off the "gold of the Sierra". Even the steepest slopes were terraced in order to use them for olive cultivation. The olive tree ensures its longevity through the bizarre shapes it assumes over time and is one of the longest-lived trees of all. Even at the age of several 100 years, it still bears fruit.
