If you’re planning to be in Ibiza in August – or you can find a way to get there – this is an event not to be missed. Yotam Ottolenghi, the culinary alchemist who can weave magic with nothing more than an aubergine and a spice drawer, is coming to the White Island to host a dining experience not to be missed. Held at the beautiful Atzaró Agroturismo hotel, a 300-year-old finca set in 13-hectare grounds in the north of the island, the evening with Ottolenghi will be a five-course menu created by the chef and his team, using produce freshly hand-picked from the lush gardens of the hotel.
The five-course dinner will be held on sharing family-style tables in the hotel’s vast vegetable garden, along with locally sourced wines and welcome drinks . Live music including a Flamenco show will provide the entertaiment backdrop – and at the end of the night, guests will leave with a signed copy of Ottolenghi’s Flavour cook book. The match with Ottolenghi is a marriage made in heaven: Atzaró Agroturismo hotel’s dedication to homegrown produce is one that they have been investing in for decades.
Indeed, Atzaró is rooted in farming, with generations of the same family working the land. The vegetable gardens, lined with olive and cypress trees, are brimming with all-organic fruit, vegetables and herbs, watered using a natural well and powered by the energy created by 200 solar panels. Single use plastics are off-limits, and food waste is composted to be reused as fertilis.
