The Regulatory Board renews producer membership on an annual basis. Each of the registered producers must pass a quality control scheme to qualify for renewed membership. The producers must then be able to prove that they meet the necessary requirements and standards to make Majorcan sobrasada.

The producers’ facilities are periodically inspected and the Majorcan sobrasada they make is subject to stringent physical, chemical and sensory analyses in order to guarantee its extraordinary qualities.

Since 1999 the Majorcan Sobrasada Regulatory Board has its own team of tasting experts, managed by a Tasting Director and formed by experienced professionals with deep knowledge of Majorcan sobrasada.

The tasting experts assess the samples of Majorcan sobrasada and black pig Majorcan sobrasada collected by the inspection team, using a standardised tasting form, and they decide whether the product should bear the label of the Regulatory Board.
