At Can Bassa, we believe in hospitality that is deeply rooted in the local area. Paying close attention to every detail of your stay also means carefully selecting the products we offer, supporting local producers who work with respect for the land and a clear commitment to quality.
In keeping with this philosophy, we incorporate locally sourced products, such as olive oil from the Empordà region, into our culinary offerings.
Oil as a key component of local cuisine
Olive oil is one of the most iconic elements of Mediterranean culture. When used in its finest form, it can transform an everyday meal—such as toast or bread with tomato—into a much richer and more nuanced experience.
That’s why, at Can Bassa, we serve a specially selected local olive oil at breakfast,, allowing you to discover aromas, textures, and flavors that capture the essence of the Empordà region.
The origin of the product
We partner with Mas Fuertes, a farm located in Corçà that specializes in producing olive oil and other local products.
Their oils stand out for the care taken throughout the production process and for their direct connection to the local environment. These oils reflect the landscape of the Empordà, with balanced profiles and a rich array of nuances.
In addition to enjoying it at breakfast, our guests can also purchase Mas Fuertes olive oil directly at Can Bassa..
A sensory experience: olive oil tasting
For those who would like to learn more about this product, Mas Fuertes offers the opportunity to visit the estate and participate in an olive oil tasting..
This experience offers a close-up look at how they work and helps participants better understand the unique characteristics of each variety. Through tasting, participants can identify aspects such as aroma, intensity, and balance—qualities that often go unnoticed in everyday consumption.
Tasting the product in its natural production setting adds a special dimension, connecting the product with the landscape and the process that gives rise to it.
Other products from the Empordà region: wines and honey
In addition to olive oil, Mas Fuertes also produce wine and honey from its own farms, adhering to the same philosophy of respect for the environment and careful production methods.
Their wines reflect the characteristics of the region, with vintages that capture the essence of the Empordà, while the honey offers aromatic profiles linked to the local flora. Both products can be included in the tour and tasting, thereby enhancing the culinary experience.
