'''[[Template:Indicación Geográfica Protegida|IGP]] Sobrasada de Mallorca''' is an uncooked, [[cured]] [[sausage]] from [[Spain]] with an irregular cylindrical shape; paste soft, not pliant, sticky,
compacted, greasy, not very fibrous, with marbled red appearance; skin dark red, smooth or slightly
rough, without mould or with whitish mould.

'''Geographical area''': The processing area covers the whole island of Majorca.

'''Evidence''': Processing and [[curing]] are carried out
in registered factories under Regulating Body control; the product goes on the market certified and
guaranteed by the Regulating Body.

'''Method of production''': In processing, the [[meat]] is [[minced]] into pieces less than 6 mm in diameter;
[[pepper]], [[salt]] and [[spices]] are added; the mass is well mixed and encased in intestines; finally it is [[cured]]
in drying rooms.

'''Link''': The Majorcan climate, with its high humidity and small temperature range, and the local
[[sausage]]-making tradition combine to make a product with its own character, which has traditionally
set it apart and been recognised by the consumer. This is shown by the fact that Majorca produces
over 50% of the [[Spanish]] total of this kind of [[sausage]], and at a price 100-500% higher than that of
[[sausage]] from elsewhere in the country. 

'''Gastronomy''': [[Template:Indicación Geográfica Protegida|IGP]] Sobrasada de Mallorca should be kept in a dry, fresh, well-ventilated area. In the summer months it should be kept in the [[fridge]], before consumption, it is recommended that the product be left at room temperature for at least an hour. Traditionally [[Template:Indicación Geográfica Protegida|IGP]] Sobrasada de Mallorca is eaten, simply spread on [[bread]]. It is also used as a key ingredient in various [[meat]], [[vegetable]] and [[fish]] dishes. It can be used for [[risotto]] with [[spinach]] and [[mushrooms]], [[quail]] and [[honey]], or with [[apples]] in the [[oven]]. It is also used for [[sauces]] or to flavour [[bread]]. It is usually eaten with full-bodied [[red wine]].
