Sometimes, at Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, we have suggestions like this one: thin clam shell, a delicacy of the sea that represents a large part of Mediterranean seafood gastronomy.
Fine shell clam, simplicity is the spice of life
We like to offer it to you always respecting its purity and natural characteristics, that is why one of the ways to taste it is raw, with a touch of lemon or accompanied by a light sauce.
The aim is that both the meaty texture of the thin shell clam and its salty flavour stand out to the maximum.
The simplicity in the preparation of this dish is no coincidence: when working with such high quality ingredients, less is more. Each mouthful is an explosion of flavours that combines the natural sweetness of the clam meat with the refreshing citrus zing of the lemon.
Shall we prepare grilled thin-shell clams?
Another common way to enjoy thin clamshell is lightly grilled, to bring out its texture even more without losing its fresh flavour. Quick cooking enhances its nuances and achieves a balance between the delicacy of the shellfish and the intensity of the sea.
This preparation, accompanied by a good Mallorcan white wine, is an ideal option for those who enjoy seafood in all its splendour.
The thin-shelled clam is a slightly larger mollusc than usual. It gets its name precisely because the shells look freshly polished and have a smooth, shiny surface.
It is a perfect starter that can be served with one of our rice dishes or with a dish that we like a lot: the sea and mountain octopus, which, as its name suggests, mixes the best of both worlds.
A sweet treat: the dark chocolate brownie
Although the menu at Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller is not static and varies according to the products we find on the market, the desserts have some stars that you will always like.
One of them is the dark chocolate brownie, although the topping may change, as we like to combine textures and flavours with other types of chocolate.
Those who have tried it say that this dessert is almost addictive, because of its dense and juicy texture, which melts in your mouth. The outer layer gives it just the right touch, without being overly sweet.
The secret behind this dessert lies in the quality of the chocolate used, which gives it a deep flavour and a touch of bitterness that contrasts with the sweetness of the sugar and the creaminess of the ingredients.
At Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller we serve the dark chocolate brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which adds a fresh and light note to the dish.
The contrast of temperatures between the hot brownie and the cold ice cream is a combination that is loved by diners and elevates the experience even more. In addition, this dessert is sometimes garnished with a crunchy touch of nuts, muesli or chocolate shavings or an extra chocolate sauce, adding an extra layer of texture and flavour.
