Discover how sobrassada is traditionally made through a guided tour.
Sobrassada is one of the oldest products in Mallorcan cuisine. Certain producers open their doors to show visitors the artisanal process of making and curing this sausage, offering tours based on tradition, landscape and tastings. A journey to the most authentic flavour on the island.
Exploring a sobrassada factory means delving into centuries of traditional know-how. In Sóller, the historic house La Luna welcomes visitors to see centuries-old machinery still in operation, discover their drying sheds and taste sausages such as camaiot and fuet, as well as their famous pâtés. Can Company, in Pla de Mallorca, also offers tours where you can see local livestock and enjoy sampling their most popular products, all made naturally.
At both of these places, it’s easy to understand why sobrassada has a Protected Geographical Indication: product, territory and tradition, connected by a recipe that’s been respected for generations. These tours explain the history of the sausage, the importance of porc negre (black pork) and the natural curing process. They’re experiences that demonstrate the link between cuisine and the landscape, perfect for anyone wanting to learn more about the island beyond the plate.
