Custòdia Agrària, GOB Menorca’s land stewardship programme, closes the year with an agreement with Torralba Petit, an olive oil production farm. The estate, covering 5 hectares and located in Alaior, has one thousand olive trees, mainly of the Arbequina and Coratina varieties. In addition, the farm includes a plot with two hundred olive trees from fifty different varieties originating from different countries around the Mediterranean basin.
The Torralba Petit farm is jointly run by Manuel Martínez Corroza, who holds a degree in Business Administration, is a graduate in Olive Growing and the landowner, and Bernat Pons Durà, an agricultural technician and the farm’s farmer.
