Ibiza is preparing for a weekend marked by local gastronomy with the celebration of the third edition of the Eivissa Red Potato Omelette Contest, an initiative that once again highlights one of the most recognizable products of the Ibizan countryside. The contest is part of the II Fira Sabors d’Eivissa, which this year returns with more activities and proposals aimed at both residents and visitors interested in traditional cuisine.
A tribute to local products
The red potato omelette, made with a local variety highly prized for its flavor and texture, will be the star of the contest. The Eivissa Town Hall will give 5 kilos of red potato to each registered team, so that participants can prepare their recipes live and demonstrate their creativity in the kitchen.
The event, organized in collaboration with the Consell Insular d’Eivissa, Sabors and Pimeef, seeks to make local products visible, promote zero kilometer gastronomy and boost activity on one of the most important weekends of the culinary calendar.
Open registration and festive atmosphere
Those interested in participating can register now through the website www.eivissaparticipa.es. The councilman of Commerce, Àlex Minchiotti, has encouraged lovers of cooking to join this event: “We want everyone to share their best recipes and live a fun day around a product so ours”.
The contest usually attracts not only amateur cooks, but also families and onlookers who come to enjoy the atmosphere, taste local products or experience firsthand the preparation of one of the most popular dishes of the island.
Awards with a taste of Eivissa
The winners will receive baskets of local products provided by the exhibitors of the Fira Sabors, a recognition that values the work of the island’s gastronomic producers and artisans. A total of three prizes will be awarded:
-
First prize: Large basket of local products
-
Second prize: Basket of local products
-
Third prize: Basket of local products
With this new edition, the contest reaffirms its position as one of the essential gastronomic events of the autumn in Ibiza, a space where tradition, cuisine and community come together to celebrate the culinary richness of the island.
