embotits Montuïri
About
embotits Montuïri, on Mallorca, sits at Carrer de sa Torre, 49, 07230 Montuïri, Illes Balears, in the island's interior.
First-time visitors should expect a butcher's counter rooted in the island's cured-meat tradition, with sobrasada among the staples that Balearic cooking is known for. Seventeen reviews give embotits Montuïri a rating of 4.2 out of 5, a score that reflects a small but steady local following. The shop's website, http://www.embotitsmontuiri.com/, offers more about what is produced.
Montuïri lies inland from Palma, and the drive from the capital or from the coastal resorts passes through the island's central plain, making the shop a practical stop for anyone touring by car.
Balearic cooking features seafood, sobrasada cured sausage and ensaimada pastries, and a butcher's shop in a village like Montuïri is one place to see that tradition up close. The islands are limestone and sandstone, with the Serra de Tramuntana range in Mallorca and flatter ground in Formentera, and the interior around Montuïri sits on that same dry stone landscape. Catalan, Roman, Moorish and British influences show in the islands' architecture and place names, which is part of what makes a drive through the interior worthwhile.
