Summer, friends, and the grill: an opportunity to consume wisely
In Menorca, barbecues are synonymous with good times outdoors, relaxed gatherings with friends and family, and informal cooking that’s best enjoyed slowly. But they can also be much more: a moment to embrace conscious consumption, choosing local, seasonal products with a lower environmental impact. At San Crispín, we offer a carefully curated selection of locally sourced meats, perfect for your summer get-togethers—combining tradition and sustainability in every bite.
1. What meats can you find at San Crispín for your barbecue?
Our selection includes options for all tastes, with a special focus on Menorcan products:
Menorcan red veal: a tasty, high-quality meat from pasture-raised cows. Ideal for entrecôte, homemade burgers, skewers, or even light stews grilled over coals.
Menorcan lamb: tender, delicately flavored, and with a smooth texture. Perfect for grilling chops, legs, or shoulders seasoned with local herbs like rosemary and thyme.
Free-range chicken: raised with care for animal welfare, with natural growth and no routine antibiotics. Marinated thighs and breasts are perfect for quick, flavorful cooking.
Sobrasada, butifarró, and camot: traditional Menorcan sausages that bring intensity, aroma, and character to the grill. Enjoy them on their own, with local oil crackers, or as filling for a savory coca.
You’ll also find special cuts prepared by our trusted butchers, like marinated ribs or ready-to-grill skewers. Ask about our weekly recommendations and barbecue promotions.
2. Why choose local meat for your barbecue?
Choosing local meat is not only a smart gastronomic decision—it’s a responsible one:
Lower environmental impact: fewer transport kilometers, reduced carbon footprint, and less packaging.
Better taste and freshness: products that spend less time in logistics retain their natural flavor and quality.
Traceability and trust: we know who’s behind every piece of meat. Small Menorcan farms, local butchers, and short distribution chains guarantee authenticity.
Economic sustainability: every purchase strengthens the island’s economy, supporting farmers and small producers.
Connection to the territory: eating local meat means participating in Menorca’s food culture, respecting its land and traditions.
3. Complete your barbecue with local Menorcan products
A Menorcan barbecue isn’t complete without these local essentials:
Oil crackers and xeixa wheat bread: perfect for toasts, dipping in oil, or accompanying cheese and sausage.
Mahón-Menorca DOP cheeses: sliced and melted over meat, served as an appetizer, or paired with honey and nuts.
Seasonal vegetable salads: zucchini, ramellet tomatoes, peppers, and spring onions, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
Local wines and craft beers: choose from IGP Vi de la Terra Illa de Menorca wines or local artisan beers for an authentic toast.
Homemade sauces and dressings: like aioli, vinaigrettes with local herbs, or Menorcan-style mustard.
Don’t forget seasonal fruits for dessert—like melon or watermelon—and enjoy a long, shared sobremesa.
4. Final tip
A barbecue doesn’t need to be excessive to be memorable. In fact, the best moments often come from simplicity. Choose your meat well, pair it with seasonal vegetables, and take your time grilling—just like our grandparents did. The flavor that emerges is honest, intense, and above all, meant to be shared.
