BALEARIC FLAVOUR

IGP Almendra de Mallorca / Almendra Mallorquina is the quality designation that guarantees the link between the almond and its origin, and endorses the methods used to obtain a product that stands out for its excellence and flavour. Its reputation and benefits are due to its high lipid content and fatty acid profile; added to its aromatic intensity, it provides a unique identity and flavour to the almonds originating from Mallorca. This creates a myriad of culinary applications, applied over the years, exerting a great influence on the gastronomic culture of the island. Majorcan almonds are available raw or roasted, with or without skin and in organic and conventional varieties, providing a variety that can be used in all kinds of culinary creations and treatments.
