Balearic cuisine

Balearic cuisine is a Mediterranean cuisine as cooked in the Balearic Islands, Spain.

It can be regarded as part of a wider Catalan cuisine, since it shares many dishes and ingredients with Catalonia and the Valencian Community.

Others view it as part of a more global Spanish cuisine.

Traditional Balearic cuisine is rich in vegetables, cereal and legumes as well as being low in fats.

A succinct selection of the primary dishes would be ensaimades, seafood and vegetable stews, sobrassada, coques, tombet, Maó cheese and wine.
