History<\/strong> (Lycopersicon-Esculentum-Mill)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tomato is of Mexican origin and was introduced by Spanish conquerors in the sixteenth century. It was once believed that the tomato was poisonous because of its red colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stringing of ramellet<\/em> tomatoes has been a tradition on the island of Mallorca for over 100 years<\/strong>, and remains alive thanks to it being passed from mother to daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Tom\u00e0tiga de ramellet<\/strong>“, the Ramellet tomato, is a key ingredient in Mallorcan cuisine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRamellet\u201d mallorcan tomato is used for preparing the typical \u2018arroz brut<\/a>\u2019 rice dish, as well as the famous \u2018pamboli\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our most typical dishes, it is also one of the most simple, and exquisite, and no visitor should leave without trying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tomato goes hand in hand with pan pay\u00e9s<\/em>, usually toasted over the embers of a fire, spread with mallorca tomato, and drizzled with olive oil and a pinch of salt.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people toast the bread first, and rub it with fresh garlic or add slices of garlic shoots. It is often accompanied with Mallorcan cheeses<\/a>, hams, Mallorcan-style green olives or capers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
