Enjoying good food is an important part of life here
There is a growing international demand for sea salt mined on Mallorca and the flavoured salt variations are available in almost any delicatessen store on the island. Originating from the Flor de Sal, harvested in the Salines of Es Trenc near Campos, many interesting combinations have been created to suit all tastes. From a combination of salt flavoured with local wine to five exclusive blends created by top chef Marc Fosh in collaboration with the original founder of Flor de Sal de Es Trenc, Katja Wohr, the selection is now endless.
Flor de Sal d’es trenc was the first to make salt from Mallorca famous, with the vision and drive of a very special lady at the helm. Read Katja Wöhr’s story here. […] Flor de Sal d’es trenc

Pa amb Oli
Literally, pa amb oli means bread with oil – and it´s been a staple of the Mallorcan diet since the 18th century. Using top-quality ingredients to make your pa amb oli lifts this dish from rustic simplicity to gourmet status. Good crusty wholemeal bread, rubbed with ramillete tomato, and dressed with extra virgin olive oil, is often served with serrano ham, cheese, capers and olives. The perfect snack for any time of day.
No Spanish meal is complete without bread: served with good local olive oil, and salt harvested from the sea, it´s the simplest of appetisers.
Quely Biscuits
Inca’s railway station is right next to the Quely factory: delicious aromas of baking tantalise passengers who haven’t eaten before leaving home. But it’s highly likely that they’ll have a few olive oil-based Quely biscuits to nibble on their train journey, because they’re the perfect snack-to-go… and a Mallorcan family favourite.
Seafarers were the first travellers to enjoy these crisp little biscuits: in the mid-19th century, the Domenech family baked them as a nutritious, long-lasting alternative to bread, for long sea voyages. Quely, formed as a company in 1970, is still owned by that family, and many of their biscuit products are exported.

Almonds from Mallorca
Almonds from Mallorca are famous for their rich taste and versatility. Each year in early spring the island is covered in picturesque fields full of almond trees showing off their soft pink blossoms. “Ametlla+” is a great alternative to fresh almonds and replaces the need for salt in your dishes.
