IN SEASON NOW 🧡 Apricots ripen in late May and early June. This sweet, fleshy fruit has a unique touch of acidity and is highly popular in Mallorca.

It has been cultivated for centuries in the Pla de Mallorca, taking advantage of the soil and climatic conditions of the island's interior. Between 1940 and the end of the century, the Porreres apricot experienced an extraordinar boom. Today, however, the market cannot face strong competition from foreign countries like Turkey

Until recently, the most widely grown local variety was the "Galta Vermella"—a charming Mallorcan name that translates to “red cheek.” You can easily recognize it because its bright orange skin develops a reddish blush on the side that receives the most sunlight.

Apricots are a staple ingredient in many traditional spring and summer Mallorcan recipes, such as:

🧡 Coca d'albercocs: A soft apricot sponge cake.

🧡 Apricot ensaïmada: A sweet, coiled pastry topped with the fruits

🧡 Sopes d'estiu amb albercocs, a savoury vegetable casserole

And you, how do you like to eat them?

ROBA DE LLENGÜES 🩵

✨ Ikat from Mallorca, known locally as roba de llengües (cloth of tongues), is the island's most emblematic handcrafted textile. It is distinguished by its geometric patterns with blurred edges that resemble flames or tongues of fire.

Today, only a few family workshops preserve this ancient dyeing technique, which originated in Asia and is unique in Europe. They use natural fibers such as cotton and linen, and the process remains largely manual, resulting in slight variations in each piece that guarantee its authenticity.

This is why we are very honored with our collaboration with , the most inspiring traditional Textile artisan in Mallorca. We now have a corner for their amazingly beautiful products in our shop at Forn de sa Llotgeta. 

Did you already new about Mallorcan roba de llengües?

ENSAÏMADA DE MALLORCA✨

When I was eight years old, I visited a baker in the small fishing village of Portocolom for a school project. I will never forget his words: "An ensaïmada can only be made in Mallorca. If you try it elsewhere, it will never be a true ensaïmada."

He was right. Our island’s specific humidity and temperature are the "invisible ingredients" that allow for the perfect fermentation. Without the Mallorcan air, the dough simply doesn't breathe the same way.

How to Enjoy It Like a Local

Whether it’s a small individual piece for a snack or a large one to share, the ensaïmada sets the rhythm of life here. In winter, we love dipping it into thick hot chocolate; in summer, it’s the perfect companion to artisanal ice cream. My personal favorite? Freshly baked and dipped into a morning coffee.

My favorite spots to taste ensaïmada:

✨ Forn Fondo (Palma) 
✨ Forn Sant Francesc (Inca)
✨ Can Joan de s’Aigo (Palma)
✨ Forn Can Salem (Algaida)
✨ S’Olivaret (Esporles)

Join Our Workshop

If you want to learn the secrets of baking these genuine local treats, join one of our Ensaïmada Workshops with Jose, our local pastry chef, in a cozy and authentic atmosphere.

MEET THE TEAM - JOSE 💥

Culinary guide, baker & traditional cooking expert.

“I grew up in a traditional Mallorcan family, deeply connected to the care and work of the land: the ritual of the pig slaughter, cultivating the vegetable garden, and preparing our own food slowly cooked over an open fire.

My parents and grandparents taught me that culture is lived in everyday life. That's why today I'm passionate about sharing everything I've learned; it's my way of honoring my roots and ensuring that traditions are kept alive. “

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP⬇️

An ancient and very typical sweet, the ensaïmada is a gateway to our history and traditional Mallorcan culture.

With this workshop, we will not only learn how to make this exquisite and airy puff pastry, but also delve into the culinary culture through its main ingredients. We will learn about xeixa wheat and pork from which the most important saïm or sobrasada are made.

Our expert pastry chef will first teach us all the secrets of this native sweet: how the dough is made, its fermentation process, and most importantly, how it is stretched and spread with saïm, its most characteristic ingredient. Then, each participant will stretch the dough and roll their own ensaïmada. After baking, their work will be savoured, with hot chocolate or refreshing ice cream depending on the season.
