Where can I find authentic almond products to buy on Mallorca?

Almonds have a long tradition here, and the best way to find authentic products is often in local markets and village shops, especially during the Festa de l'Ametler, which celebrates the blossoming almond trees in the Serra de Tramuntana. Towns like Inca and Alaró are known for their artisanal almond goods, ranging from sweet marzipan to almond oil and freshly roasted nuts. The weekly farmers' markets in Palma and Pollenca also offer a great selection of almonds and almond-based treats, often directly from local producers.

Alongside the classic Marcona almonds, you’ll find traditional sweets like the almond cake 'gato de almendra' and the island's distinctive ensaimada filled with almond paste. For something more unusual, visit Manacor, where family-run shops sell handmade almond liqueurs such as Palo or Hierbas, infused with local herbs and almonds. In these places, you often get the chance to chat with producers about their recipes long perfected over generations.

If you prefer picking up your almond goodies during your travels around the island, smaller coves like Cala Llombards hide charming cafés serving almond-flavored desserts, while roadside stalls along the Ma-13 occasionally offer freshly harvested almonds in season. While larger supermarkets carry almond products, nothing beats sourcing them from local artisans or markets where the island’s unique almond heritage is unmistakably present.
