Local produce from Ibiza

Being an island, seafood is obviously a big part of the Ibizan diet with many typical dishes based on fish or crustaceans, mainly lobster, sourced locally. Pork has also long been a central part of the Ibizan table and the island's own sobrassada sausage is a delicious and unique spicy paste.

Other important local products are traditional Mediterranean staples such as olives, with which islanders make fragrant olive oil; almonds, which are the main ingredient of the Salsa de Nadal - a Christmas dessert; grapes for the protected 'Vino de la Tierra de Ibiza' wine; and salt which has been collected on the White Isle for centuries.

If you want the best regional produce, then look for the tag 'Sabors d'Eivissa' , an official indication which designates locally sourced produce of high quality. Currently, you can find it on sobrassada, lobster, rockfish, red prawns and crayfish.
