Mallorca foods/gourmet you must try

Famous food top 5

Sobrasada: Sobrassada in Balearic or Sobrasada in Spanish, is a raw, cured sausage from the Balearic Islands made with ground pork, paprika, salt and other spices.
Pa Amb Oli: Pa amb oli means “bread with olive oil” in Majorcan, and it is as commonly eaten in the Balearic Islands as pa amb tomàquet is in Catalonia.
Frito Mallorquín: Frito Mallorquín is a hearty, nourishing dish that somehow symbolizes the Mallorcan character better than any other food item other than perhaps Sobrassada. Frito Mallorquín is basically a meal that consists of offal, in the main liver, plus red and green peppers, potatoes and garlic.
Sopa Malloquina (Majorcan soup): Mallorcan soup or Mallorcan dry soup is a typical dish in the gastronomy of the island of Mallorca. It is a rustic dish, often closer in texture to a casserole or very thick stew. It typically is eaten with a fork rather than a spoon. This dish appears in the Middle Ages.
Tumbet: Tombet or tumbet is a traditional vegetable dish from Majorca, consisting of layers of sliced potatoes, aubergines and red bell peppers previously fried in olive oil. It is available at almost every local restaurant on the island.

Famous Sweets

Ensaïmada: The ensaimada is a pastry product from Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. It is a common cuisine eaten in southwestern Europe, Latin America and the Philippines. The first written references to the Mallorcan ensaïmada date back to the 17th century.
Helado de Almendras [Gelat d’ametlla]:Almonds are a specialty of Mallorca. It is the source of Marcona almonds, which are considered to be the highest quality in Spain. Large, plump almonds can be fried and sprinkled with salt, made into almond flour and used for desserts, sauces, and even ice cream. It doesn’t have a smooth texture like Italian gelato, but has a sorbet-like texture with some almond grains. The simple, old-fashioned taste is addictive.
Cuarto: There are only 3 ingredients: eggs, sugar, and refined starch powder (potato)!
Helado de Naranja: Orange ice cream is a specialty of the village of Soller in Mallorca, where many citrus fruits are grown. Orange ice cream has a light, sherbet-like texture and is perfect for sightseeing. Be sure to visit Soger and Palma de Mallorca, where old wooden electrified trains run and you can enjoy spectacular views of the Tramuntana Mountains.
Coca de Patata: The ingredients are the same as Cuarto, but the dough is a little more chewy. It is a specialty of the village of Valldemossa, where Chopin and George Sand chose it as their love escape, and it is not too sweet.
Gató de Almendra: Gató de almendra is a flaky dessert made with almonds, eggs, ground lemon peel, and sugar. This fluffy, iconic sweet is traditionally given a light covering of powdered sugar and served with a scoop of locally-produced almond ice cream.
Greixonera de Brossat: Brossat, cinnamon, eggs, and lemon zest are combined into a velvety mixture which is poured into a clay baking dish and baked. This cheesecake is then given a light sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar.

Famous Drinks

Hierbas: Hierbas is an aniseed-flavored Spanish liqueur served as a digestif.

Other famous foods

Panades mallorquines: Stuffed with lamb and sobrasada meat, pea with artichokes and camaiot or monkfish with bechamel
Empanada de Carne: This light and flaky dough is filled with an onion and beef filling, then baked until golden.
Rubiols: they are called both rubiols and robiols, but either way, they become a kind of “patty” and are made both sweet and salty.
Trampó (Majorcan salad): Traditional trampó is made from Mallorcan-grown produce, including peppers, onions, tomatoes, salt, and olive oil—and that’s it.
Coca Mallorquina: The coca mallorquina red pepper tart, often referred to as coca de trampó, is a crispy, cracker-like flat bread made from simple coca dough that is coated with trampó.
Arròs Brut: Arròs brut, at its core, is a somewhat soupy rice dish made with a hodgepodge of ingredients. The usual suspects include rabbits, all kinds of local vegetables, chicken, paprika, pigeon, snails… and the list goes on.
Botifarra Negra: is a type of sausage and one of the most important dishes of the Catalan cuisine. Botifarra is based on ancient recipes, either the Roman sausage botulu or the lucanica, made of raw pork and spices, with variants today in Italy and in the Portuguese and Brazilian linguiça.
Lomo Con Col: Lomo con col, also known as lom amb col, are cabbage rolls that integrate pork from Mallorca’s fêted black pig with apricots, pine nuts, raisins, and other ingredients.
Llonguet: This is one of the most typical products to come out of a Mallorcan oven. Small and oval-shaped, with a cut down the middle, this bread roll is made with white flour and usually comes lightly toasted. You cannot go to Palma without trying a llonguet sandwich.
