Gastronomy

Mallorcan gastronomy offers all the advantages of the Mediterranean diet, which is said to be one of the most complete and healthy diets. Mallorcan cuisine is just the reflection of the different cultures that shaped our present-day identity. And it is precisely this variety which gives the island’s diet its richness and the well-deserved prestige it enjoys today.

The fact of being an island combined with the good weather throughout the year provides us with an exquisite variety of products that is almost entirely exclusive to Mallorca. Mallorcan cuisine offers a very complete range of top quality meat from local producers, fresh-caught fish and a delicious wide range of season vegetables and fruit that add a delicious flavour to dishes. All in all, the result is a genuine local flavour that is one of the main attractions and delights of a visit to Mallorca.

It is a diet rich in olive oil and lard in winter dishes. However, the calory content of lard is compensated by the abundance of vegetables and fruit in the dishes containing animal fat. Tomatoes are another key ingredient. Mallorca has its own variety known as “tomatiga de ramallet” (branch tomato). It is an essential ingredient to prepare the famous “pa amb oli” (bread and oil), which tastes great with any kind of Mallorcan sausage. It is one of the simplest and most delicous dishes that visitors should try.

Seria possible torna-la a tenir però en aquesta pàgina, penjada, per poder baixar-la per internet? Gràcies OIT Ciutat Blanca Port Alcúdia.
