Sobrasada PGI from Mallorca: the iconic charcuterie of the Balearic Islands

Sobrasada PGI from Mallorca is one of the most distinctive specialities of Spanish gastronomy.

Made from pork seasoned with paprika, sobrasada offers a generous, aromatic and typically Mediterranean flavour.

At Espagne Gourmet, we offer a selection of Mallorca PGI sobrasadas in mild and spicy versions, available in different formats. It is perfect for tapas, toasted bread, warm recipes or for discovering an authentic Spanish spreadable charcuterie.

What is sobrasada?

Sobrasada is a Spanish spreadable cured sausage made with pork, paprika, salt and spices. Unlike chorizo or dry sausage, it has a soft, creamy texture, making it easy to spread on toasted bread or use as an ingredient in cooking.

Its characteristic red colour comes from paprika, an essential ingredient that brings aroma, sweetness and sometimes a slightly spicy note. Sobrasada from Mallorca is especially appreciated for its balance between intensity, creaminess and aromatic depth.

A certified Mallorca PGI sobrasada

The Mallorca PGI label, Protected Geographical Indication, guarantees the link between the product and its area of production. This certification highlights the traditional know-how of Mallorca and helps distinguish genuine Sobrasada de Mallorca from other spreadable charcuterie products.

Choosing a PGI sobrasada means choosing an authentic product that represents the charcuterie tradition of the Balearic Islands. Its texture, seasoning and flavour make it very different from other Spanish cured meats.

Mild or spicy sobrasada: which one should you choose?

Mild sobrasada is ideal if you are looking for a round, aromatic and accessible flavour. It is delicious on bread, in tapas or in simple recipes with eggs, potatoes, pasta or roasted vegetables.

Spicy sobrasada offers a more intense and lively taste. It is perfect for lovers of bold Spanish charcuterie and adds character to toast, sauces, pizzas, empanadas and warm dishes.

Choose according to your taste: mild Sobrasada PGI and spicy Sobrasada PGI.
