Porreres is the centre of apricot growing and on the 10th of June the Fira de l’Albercoc (apricot fair) revolves around the small, healthy fruit. The apricot (Prunus armeniaca) is smaller and more inconspicuous than its relative the peach and both are from the genus Prunus and the family of the rosaceous plants. In Majorca, the apricot is called “albercoc”, in Spanish “albaricoque”, and the Austrians call it “marille”.
Diverse, varied and especially beautiful – in the south of Mallorca the sea seems a little bluer and the sun seems to shine a bit longer. The fact is that it shines on the spectacular beaches an average of ten hours a day, and in July and August the 30-degree mark is passed regularly. The land is flat and the interior country side is characterized by fields, almond tree plantations and agriculture. The coastline is formed by imposing cliffs and towards the south by long beaches in between small, romantic bays.
This month in our blog series we would like to introduce you to the sea-fennel and there is, of course, a recipe tip for you to cook on your holiday finca or at home. We hope you have fun! Those who are not familiar with the sea-fennel and are confronted by it for the first time on a Majorcan open sandwich, the pa amb oli, could mistake the dark green, leafy plant for algae because that is what the plant, which belongs to the umbellifer family, seems to be and the name also suggests that it has something to do with the sea.
