Sant Joan Gran’s Sobrassadas, farmhouse flavour

Bep Al·lès/Ciutadella - Some products explain Menorca through its most rural essence. Sant Joan Gran’s sobrassadas belong to this gastronomic culture rooted in the farm, in curing time and in the knowledge of a traditional craft that remains a living part of the island’s heritage.

The image speaks for itself: tied pieces, natural casing and an intense, glossy red colour that suggests paprika, noble fat and carefully worked meat. When sliced, the sobrassada reveals a compact yet creamy texture, with deep aromatic presence and a flavour that calls for rustic bread, time and little else. It is a direct, honest and unmistakably Menorcan product, made both for spreading and for cooking, enriching savoury cocas, pulses, vegetables or seasonal dishes.

Sant Joan Gran, a farm located near the hermitage of Sant Joan de Missa and the road to Macarella, is known for its D.O. Mahón-Menorca cheeses, traditional cured meats and seasonal produce. A place that keeps alive the connection between countryside, pantry and table.
