Son Jover is a Mallorca-based organic farm and artisan dairy (formatgeria) dedicated to “author cheeses” made exclusively from their own milk and crafted with a strong respect for land, animals, and local heritage. Operating as an ecological producer since 1992, Son Jover represents a conscious way of eating: traceable, small-scale, and rooted in the island’s traditional agricultural landscape.
Their cheeses are made 100% from milk of their own herd, using single-species milk (no blends) and natural rinds. The farm works with distinctive breeds, including the Oveja Roja Mallorquina and the Cabra Malagueña, chosen to express terroir and character rather than maximum yield. Animals graze daily, contributing to a milk profile with notably rich aroma and flavor.
What you can buy
The online shop features a curated range of cheeses and farmhouse staples, from aged and semi-cured formats to fresh dairy and pantry items. Examples listed in the shop include:
- Goat cured cheese (approx. 1 kg) with a washed rind and around 120 days maturation (example listed at €32.00 per unit).
- Fresh kefir (example listed at €2.20), with notes indicating it is sold locally and fresh products may have shipping limitations.
- Gift baskets (seasonal), combining Son Jover products and selected pairings for gifting.
Visit and taste on the island
Beyond shopping, Son Jover offers a meaningful on-site experience: guided factory visits (typically October to June) that include the farm, the cheesemaking facilities, and a tasting of selected products. Visits are arranged by reservation, with availability and pricing confirmed directly with the team.
For local pickup, you can also buy directly at the factory shop on Mondays and Fridays from 16:00 to 20:00, and find their products at key Palma markets, including Mercat de Santa Catalina and Mercat Ecològic de Palma. This is an excellent choice for conscious residents, hosts, and visitors seeking genuinely local, organic food with clear provenance.
