Fornells Food Market

The landscape on the plate

One of the great attractions of this market is local products. Minorcan cheeses, especially the famous Mahón-Minorca D.O. cheese, are renowned for their unique flavour and texture. Each one is handmade and every bite will transport you to the island's green pastures, where cows graze in the open air and feed on fresh grass.

Don't miss the opportunity to try the local cured meats: from sobrassada, with its characteristic smoky and spicy flavour, to the delicious local pork-based products such as cuixot, carn i xulla or botifarrons. Each piece is made with care and tradition. These sausages are perfect with a glass of local wine, another of the treasures you will find in the market.

The quality of the seasonal fruit and vegetables is another reason to visit the Fornells Food Market. Fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers and aubergines, together with juicy fruits such as melons and figs, invite you to create dishes that are full of colour and flavour. Everything is grown locally using environmentally friendly methods that guarantee fresh and tasty products.

A toast by the sea

Minorcan wine is an experience in itself. The island's vineyards make the most of the Mediterranean climate to produce high quality wines. There are fresh fruity whites, more complex reds, as well as vermouth and sometimes sweet wines. Every sip tells you a story that is deeply rooted in the land. Let the producers guide you through a tasting and discover your favourite wine!

Another key ingredient is extra virgin olive oil, the gastronomic jewel of the Mediterranean, which is also produced in Minorca. Its fruity and slightly spicy flavour is the perfect complement to any dish. Try some bread with oil and a pinch of salt and savour the simplicity and purity of Minorcan cuisine.

Visiting the Fornells Food Market is an experience that connects you with the culture and tradition of Minorca. It's a place where you can chat with the producers, learn about the history and process behind each product and take a little piece of the island home with you.
