FORN DE SA LLOTGETA – HONORING MALLORCA’S TERRITORY, TRADITIONAL FOODS & ARTISANS A HISTORICAL LOCATION
Forn de sa LLotgeta is an emblematic bakery dating from the 18th Century and located in the heart of Palma. With more than 600 years of history, the building is a small jewel of medieval architecture, guardian of the history of the island and the secrets of the old city.
We are happy to share this magical space with you in our regular food workshops and other culinary experiences scheduled during the year. We want to connect you with our traditional culture to honor local food, producers and artisans.
Our aim is to promote a new approach to traditional food cultures. We believe our pantries and our kitchens are spaces of power, places from which we can transform our reality and establish a deeper relationship with nature and our territories.
EDIBLE CULTURE
At Forn de sa Llotgeta we believe that traditional food cultures are a great source of knowledge to help us address major sustainability challenges, including the way we experiment our travel experiences.
Our cultural approach to cooking will allow you to explore Mallorca’s finest terroir, typical dishes and culinary traditions following family recipes and the island’s food calendar: from key seasonal ingredients to iconic products, all paired with organic wines and a sustainable food ethos.
We strictly follow the island food calendar and adapt our menus to each season. All the ingredients are locally sourced.
Animal protein is very important to understand traditional Mallorcan Food culture but this workshop can easily be made vegetarian or vegan for private groups.
INMERSIVE EXPERIENCES
We create memorable experiences that will connect you in a deep, sincere and immersive way with our culture and honor traditional local food. Our open groups are kept very small with a maximum of 8 pax, to offer you an intimate experience. If you prefer full exclusivity, the courses can also be made private from 2 to 15 pax and are subject to availability. The courses are not recommended for kids under 12, but they are welcome in private groups. Our team of local hosts will share with you their love for Mallorca and provide you an intimate first-hand experience driven by authenticity.
LOCAL ARTISANS PRODUCES
We collaborate with small producers & artisans to bridge your culinary experience with the most genuine food and artisan production of Mallorca.You will not only enjoy the taste of their passionate and hard work but also have the opportunity to take with you the ingredients and materials used during the workshop for you to replicate the recipes and bring home the authentic taste of Mallorca.
ABOUT DEBORAH PIÑA
Mallorcan by birth, with a French mother. I am a traditional foods specialist. My travel experiences in diverse countries combined with a career as a lawyer & sociologist have made me realise my greatest passion: communication and development of human relationships through a shared love of food.
For 3 years I was the presenter of “The Pantry” on IB3 TV. I focused on local, domestic and antique remedies & recipes and I met men and women from every single village. Through their wisdom I connected with the deepest roots of our gastronomic identity and consolidated my vision about the value of traditions along with the desire to preserve and promote them.
Now I am on a mission in Forn de sa Llotgeta: to create experiences and content that connect people with the territory, traditional food and sustainability to inspire them towards a new model of travel and consumption and to promote local producers, artisans and small businesses that regenerate and work for the island.
