Palma de Majorca, Spain

Ensaimada Route

With this Ensaimada tour, you will discover the island’s star product, perfect to enjoy at breakfast, as a dessert, or as an afternoon snack. There are many ensaimadas, but quality depends especially on expert hands, wood-fired ovens, and ancestral recipes passed down from parents to children. The base of the recipe is simple enough: sugar, eggs, flour, and pork lard, which gives it that flaky texture and soft feel on the palate. It is the jewel in the crown of Balearic pastry, well worth tasting and comparing until you find the best version for you. Do you dare to step into a small piece of the island’s culinary history?
