Sobrasada is a traditional soft, cured sausage from Mallorca made with ground pork, paprika, salt and other spices.
Because of their balmy semi-tropical climate, islanders on Mallorca and Menorca are unable to fully dry-cure their meat, as is done on the mainland. Instead, they preserve their meat by mixing it with a local type of paprika and age it for a short time.
The result is sobrasada, a finely ground soft pork sausage of excellent quality. It is unique for its soft-spreadable texture and it is perfect when served of freshly baked pizza.
