When talking about typical products from Ibiza, we cannot fail to mention Ibizan gastronomy, which stands out for its great richness and the intensity of its flavours. In addition to fish dishes, other products are typical in Ibiza, such as sobrasada, sheep’s cheese, orelletes, greixonera, flaó or the typical Ibizan herbs. Discover our products!
Sobrasada
Sobrasada is one of the tastiest and most highly valued typical products of Ibiza. It is made in a completely traditional way due to one of the island’s key traditions, the pig slaughter. Sobrasada is made from lean meat and seasoned with paprika.
Ibiza sobrasada stands out for its unmistakable flavour, thanks to the favourable weather conditions that make it unique. What’s more, you can buy it anywhere on the island.
Ibizan Orelletes
Orelletes are typical Ibiza sweets made with flour, eggs, sugar, lemon zest and a little aniseed. When you see them, you will understand why they are so called. Although it is true that they come in different shapes, in most cases they have a shape similar to the outline of an ear.
They are perhaps the island’s most representative sweets, typical at the fiestas and all kinds of celebrations. Their aniseed flavour and spongy texture make them spectacular.
The flaó
Flaó is the name given to the typical Ibizan cheesecake, also traditionally made for any important celebration. It is usually served on All Saints’ Day, along with fritters or panellets.
The most interesting thing about this cake is that it incorporates mint as one of its main ingredients, as well as lemon zest, aniseed and, of course, cheese, among other ingredients. For those with a sweet tooth, this could be a perfect souvenir.
Greixonera
Greixonera is another of the typical desserts you’ll find anywhere on Ibiza. The most curious thing about its preparation is that it uses the ensaimadas from the day before, which are drier and harder, mixed with sugar, eggs, grated lemon zest and a touch of cinnamon.
The result is a spectacular dessert with a texture similar to that of a pudding, making it magnificent. It is best served cold, and if it is with a little cream… So much the better!
Ibizan herbs
If there’s one thing you can’t miss on your table, it’s a good glass of Ibizan herbs. This drink was initially made as a digestive, but today it has become so popular that it has become a must-try.
It is an aniseed liqueur made with a selection of herbs, including rosemary, fennel and thyme.
In Ibiza, there are uncountable companies, restaurants and private homes that make their own herbs and whose recipes are passed down from generation to generation. Enjoy the typical products of Ibiza and savour the best of the island!
