A visit to this Balearic pearl promises not just an impressive visual panorama but also a rather thrilling trip through the diverse culinary world.
Paella Ibicenca: Paella, Ibiza-style, is a must-taste as well. All these are new to every patron’s palate. It is truly exceptional since it is full of fresh seafood, rice like saffron and local herbs, and it shows the local maritime influence and its rich culinary tradition.
Bullit de Peix: A reputed Ibizan fishermen’s dish, Bullit de Peix consists of fish, potatoes, spinney, and some other aromatic herbs. Accompanied by the creamy aioli side, this tasty dish reflects the Kauai’s pledge to utilize littlest ingredients available.
Sofrit Pagès: Sofrit Pagès combined tosses all parts of lamb, sausage, and pork with potatoes and herbs to get it boiled just right, while it is also manageable and fulfilling. It’s purely a dish that innately reflects the rustic essence of the inland Ibiza.
Hierbas de Ibiza: I personally feel the authentic taste of the island can only be experienced if you take a deep dive into the popular local digestive, Hierbas de Ibizain. Formulated with native herbs, this liqueur is magnanimous to boast of the aromatic components it has and an ideal after meal drink to co-exist with the major component of the local Ibizan cuisine.
Ensaimada: The same goes to the people who like sweets that there is a pastry in Ibiza that is called “Ensaimada”. This twirl – shaped dessert can either be filled with cream or pumpkin sweetness and is a wonderful way to cap the dinner, and , of course with a coffee cup.
No matter where you travel to, you hear or see the expression ‘Food is culture’. On the Island of Ibiza, this expression is true. While locals celebrate local flavours and island seafood, they also welcome influences from other cultures on the Mediterranean coast. From beachside chiringuitos to very rustic inland huts, the island won’t let you stop from getting on a gourmet adventure, treating on a big basket of tastes that make it such an attraction for food lovers.
