Mallorca's sobrasada

Black pig Majorcan sobrasada is made from selected indigenous Majorcan pork meats.

The black pig is an indigenous Majorcan breed of pig: the Regulatory Board is in charge of authorising, registering and inspecting the farms where this species is raised.

The Regulatory Board also examines its breeding and feeding at liberty, the latter being based on figs and carob beans supplemented with cereal and pulses.

To ensure good raising and breeding of the black pigs that will be used to make sobrasada, they are branded with an identification plate from the moment they are born.
