In our facilities we carry out the processes of dehydration, transformation, milling and packaging of all available formats.

In order to be as environmentally friendly as possible, our packaging is made with cardboard and Natureflex, a packaging developed with 100% biodegradable and compostable cellulose.

From the flower, the saffron strands are then obtained

Company History

Our origins are a small grocery store located in Santa María del Camí, and where in the back room spices were ground and then marketed for the preparation of the typical sausages of the Matanza del cerdo, such as sobrasada and butifarrones.

When in 1945 they moved to Palma and specialized in the production of paprika, spices and aromatic herbs, not only for the preparation of sausages but also for home cooking.

Since our origins we have always been in contact with the end consumer through the retail store.

Today, it is still a family business run by the 3rd Generation.

TAP DE CORTÍ - Paprika from Mallorca

Since our beginnings, the star product has been paprika, made with the typical and exclusive Tap de Cortí peppers of Mallorca.

With the boom in tourism and globalization, the planting of this variety of peppers was reduced, almost to the point of extinction, but from 2008 onwards with the introduction of the 3rd Generation in management, its use was promoted and recovered, becoming in 2020 declared by the European Community with the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Paprika de Mallorca quality seal.

What is the Tap de Cortí

Discover the extraordinary native variety of Tap de Cortí peppers, a culinary gem you won't want to miss.

This paprika, with its unrivalled colour and flavour, plays a fundamental role in the creation of Mallorca's famous sobrasada. Not only does it give it its distinctive red hue, but it also embellishes its unique flavor and provides a remarkable amount of antioxidants.

The Pebré Bord Dolç, obtained from the grinding of the "Capsicum annuum de Tap de Cortí", is a sweet paprika like no other. After meticulous collection and selection, they undergo a washing, cutting and drying process at a controlled temperature of 50ºC. Once dried, the stem is removed and grinding.

It is an honour to say that in 2016, our Cortí Tap Paprika was awarded a well-deserved recognition with two stars in the prestigious "Superior Taste Awards" of the International Institute of Taste and Quality (iTQi) in Brussels. This award is given to foods and beverages that stand out for their exquisite taste and quality.

Since 2020, our Tap de Cortí paprika has been accredited as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) for Paprika de Mallorca. This guarantees its exceptional origin and quality, giving you the peace of mind that you are enjoying a truly authentic product.
