It is surprising how the Ibiza recipe book can combine identical ingredients and culinary techniques, offering dishes with notable differences. A good example are three of the dishes that are an indispensable part of Es Torrent's offer and the island's gastronomic tradition: bullit, guisat and brine. The three dishes are made with the same fish: at least three different varieties,...

Since 2008 there has been the Pitiusa Federation of Indigenous Breeds (Fepira), which works to prevent the extinction of livestock of local varieties, as they are part of the cultural and gastronomic heritage of Ibiza and Formentera.
