Plum Coca, Menorca's Most Anticipated Summer Sweet Pastry

Bep Al·lès/Ferreries - When July arrives, bakeries across Menorca welcome the season of plum coca. Prepared only during July and August, when local plums are at their finest, this traditional pastry is one of the island's most cherished sweet specialities.

Its light, fluffy dough pairs beautifully with ripe plums, which release their natural juices while baking, creating a perfect balance between sweetness and gentle acidity. A dusting of icing sugar adds the finishing touch to this simple yet irresistible recipe.

Enjoyed during afternoon snacks, family gatherings and summer celebrations, plum coca has become a beloved seasonal tradition for generations of Menorcans.

For visitors, tasting plum coca is a wonderful way to experience another authentic flavour of the island. Available for only a few weeks each year, it perfectly captures the essence of a Menorcan summer.
