Where can I find fresh carob or carob products at local markets on Mallorca?

In autumn, when carob pods reach their peak, traditional markets on the island come alive with seasonal produce, including fresh carob and a variety of local carob products. Towns such as Alcudia and Pollenca host weekly markets where local farmers often bring not only ripe pods but also handcrafted items like carob syrup, flour, and sweets. These markets offer a great chance to connect with the producers themselves, who can share insights about how carob fits into Mallorca’s rural heritage and cuisine.

You won’t just find carob at the larger markets. Smaller village markets in the Serra de Tramuntana, near places like Sóller and Valldemossa, occasionally feature carob delicacies made following time-honored recipes. For those staying closer to Palma, organic shops and specialty food stores include locally sourced carob products during the harvest months, often highlighting the ingredient's natural sweetness and versatility. Sampling these items complements the island’s other culinary treats like sobrassada and pa amb oli, giving a full taste of Mallorca’s rustic charm.
