Almond of 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 over the years, exerting a great influence on the island’s gastronomic culture. The Majorcan almond is available raw or roasted, with or without skin and in organic and conventional varieties, providing a variety applicable to all kinds of culinary creations and treatments.
