SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 5, 2025 – Sun-drenched shores, rustic recipes, and olive groves rich in heritage — Formentera has long been a Mediterranean dream. Now, with the launch of its new digital platform Formentera amb molt de gust, this tiny Balearic paradise is turning its culinary culture into an immersive and interactive experience for locals and travelers alike.
Forget your average tourist guide. This initiative blends tradition with technology, giving food lovers an elegant new way to explore the island’s authentic flavors, straight from the source — and often right from the hands that made them.
A culinary journey rooted in authenticity
Unlike flashy food fads, Formentera’s culinary initiative is refreshingly grounded in local pride. The participating restaurants — already marked with official seals on their doors and menus — are committed to using regional ingredients and preserving ancestral recipes.
Expect more than just a tasty meal:
- Savor dishes crafted from local wheat like “Pa amb Farina de Xeixa”
- Enjoy fresh octopus in traditional Frita de Pulpo, a fan favorite
- Sip wines grown under Formentera’s glowing sun
And it’s not just for foodies — it’s for anyone curious about how place, produce, and people shape a truly unforgettable meal.
Workshops, tastings, and moments to remember
Ever kneaded bread dough made from ancient grains? Or chatted with a winemaker about this year’s olive harvest?
With experiences listed on the new website, you can:
- Join olive oil tastings and Xeixa-bread baking workshops
- Watch food contests where octopus is both star and prize
- Discover when and where you can sample or buy local specialties
The goal? Turn every meal into a memory — and every trip into a story you can taste.
A digital guide that brings Formentera’s food to life
The centerpiece of the project is its sleek and intuitive website, formenteraambmoltdegust.com. It functions as a culinary compass, pointing you to:
- Participating restaurants that celebrate traditional cuisine
- Local markets and producers offering wine, oil, and artisanal delights
- A clickable island map that makes exploration simple and satisfying
There are also videos, chef interviews, and bite-sized stories that spotlight the island’s tastemakers — including special content from popular Spanish food influencer Celeste García de la Banda.
Why this matters beyond the plate
This isn’t just about dinner. It’s about defending Formentera’s soul — one recipe at a time.
The project, backed by the Conselleria de Sector Primari and funded by Next Generation EU, bridges farming, fishing, and tourism to create a sustainable model for gastronomy. That means when you enjoy local dishes, you’re supporting the island’s economy, ecology, and identity all at once.
Editorial Extra: Why you should skip the tourist menu and go local
