Food & drink
Local produce: farms and shops
Sobrassada, farm-made goat’s cheese, Tramuntana olive oil, Sóller oranges, Binissalem wine and herb liqueur. The best is bought from the people who make it, at farms, cooperatives and village shops. We’ve gathered them in this guide. Tip: many farms only open for booked visits, so message them before you go.
Besides farms and shops, markets are the easiest way to buy straight from producers: Sineu, on Wednesday mornings, is the island's oldest and best-known; Santa Maria del Camí's is on Sundays; and in Palma, the Mercat de l'Olivar opens Monday to Saturday mornings. Get there before 10 am for the best fruit and vegetables.
To know what to look for, check the quality labels: sobrasada and ensaimada have Protected Geographical Indication status, and «Oli de Mallorca» olive oil and the wines of Binissalem and Pla i Llevant have designation of origin. If you're taking oil, wine or liqueurs on the plane, put them in checked luggage: only small containers of liquid are allowed in the cabin. Ask the shop to wrap them well, or buy vacuum-packed sobrasada, which travels better.
Frequently asked questions
What Mallorcan food can you take on the plane?
Vacuum-packed sobrasada, ensaimadas in their box, almonds, cheese and biscuits are fine in the cabin. Olive oil, wine, liqueurs and jams count as liquids: put them in checked luggage, well wrapped, unless they're in small containers.
What day is Sineu market?
Wednesday mornings, all year round. It's Mallorca's oldest and best-known market, with stalls of fruit, vegetables, cured meats and crafts, plus a livestock section. Get there early: stallholders start packing up around midday.
