Avec de l'huile

Pa amb oli is a traditional appetizer or snack originating from Mallorca and the Balearic islands. The dish is made with a combination of peasant bread or dark rye bread, tomatoes, olive oil, and salt. The bread is cut into slices and rubbed with tomatoes, giving the surface a nice rosy color. Olive oil is drizzled on top, and sea salt flakes are then sprinkled over the bread. The native Mallorcan ramellet tomato variety is preferred, while the bread should ideally be of the pan payés (peasant) variety. The olive oil and sea salt should also be local for the best experience. Although this is the classic pa amb oli, there are also variations with added garlic, local cheese, sausages, and cold cuts.
