Sobrassada, the traditional sausage most sold in Spain

The Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Sobrassada de Mallorca sold 2,058,780 kilograms in 2025, the highest sales volume among the eight Spanish sausage PGIs. This is reflected in the statistical report on food quality figures published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA). In this way, the Mallorcan sobrassada becomes the best-selling traditional sausage in Spain.

This volume represents 30.6% of the 6.73 million kilograms sold by the eight characteristic and iconic sausages from the different autonomous communities of the State included in the PGI document. Thus, slightly more than three out of every ten kilograms sold under these indications correspond to Sobrassada de Mallorca.

The economic value of its commercialization reached 16.02 million euros, the second highest figure in the group, after Xistorra de Navarra. This amount represents 27.6% of the 58.10 million euros that the Spanish sausages with PGI total.

Regarding the number of registered producers, it should be noted that, although the average is established at 9 producers, the Sobrassada de Mallorca occupies the first place in terms of the number of registered producing industries, with 15, representing 21% of all PGI Spanish sausage producers.

By destination, the national market concentrated 1.98 million kilos marketed, while sales abroad totaled 82,726 kilos, distributed among other countries of the European Union and third countries.

The 2025 balance sheet reflects the contribution of the island's producing industries to the set of Spanish sausages with PGI. The Sobrassada de Mallorca PGI concentrates nearly a third of the marketed volume and more than a quarter of the economic value of this category, with sales both in the national market and in other countries.

As it is a quality figure that brings together a large number of producers, well above the Spanish average.
