Flavours of Sóller you simply must discover

The Sóller valley has a very special culinary identity. Surrounded by the Serra de Tramuntana and opening out onto the Mediterranean via its harbour, it offers unique produce linked to both the land and the sea.

Sóller oranges
Sóller oranges are one of the valley’s most recognisable symbols. Their aroma and flavour are part of the identity of this part of Mallorca.
Freshly squeezed juice is one of the best ways to start the day, but you’ll also find oranges featured in desserts, ice creams and other local specialities.

Sóller prawns
Among the most prized seafood specialities are Sóller prawns. Their delicate flavour and high quality make them a true gastronomic gem.
If you get the chance to try them during your stay, enjoying them in a simple dish that lets the flavour of the prawns shine through is always an excellent choice.

Olive oil and olives from the Serra de Tramuntana
Olive groves are an integral part of the landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana. That’s why, during a visit to Sóller, it’s well worth discovering the local olive oil and olives from the area.
Sometimes, the simplest flavours are the ones that best tell a place’s story.

Good, fresh fish
The Port of Sóller is the perfect place to enjoy Mallorca’s connection with the Mediterranean. Fresh fish and seafood are part of the area’s culinary tradition and are a must for lovers of seafood cuisine.

Almond gató
Gató is a delicious sponge cake made mainly with almonds, an ingredient that features heavily in Mallorcan baking.
