Almendra de Mallorca
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 noted 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 Mallorcan almonds. This creates a myriad of culinary applications, applied for years, exerting a great influence on the island’s gastronomic culture The Majorcan almond is presented raw or roasted, with or without skin and with the ecological and conventional variants, providing a variety applicable to all types of culinary creations and treatments.
