Forn Formentor

The Forn Formentor bakery and pastry shop dates back to 1942 and has been linked to the Cerdà family since they opened the oven in Pollença. In 1999 they moved to a new location, where the bakery is still located today. In 2021 the second generation took over the family.

Since 2023 the bakery has been in the hands of two experienced Uruguayan bakers, Miguel Vidal and Pablo Silva, great friends from childhood. They put all their passion into offering the customer a varied proposal of elaborations from Rio de la Plata and the purest and most traditional Mallorcan pastries. In fact, Pablo Silva previously worked in a bakery in Lloseta. As an anecdote, Miguel Vidal has returned to his roots as he is the grandson of Jaime Canaves, born in  Pollença, who was exiled to Uruguay.

They are members of the brand “Pa d’aquí, forn i tradició” brand (“Bread from here, bakery and tradition”),  which distinguishes establishments with a bakery that make the different types of bread from the Balearic Islands. In addition to bread, they continue to make llonguets and French rolls, products that can only be found in this establishment in the village. They also make the typical Pollença formatjades and other specialities such as ensaimadas. It is worth mentioning that they have won the Best Brown Bread of Mallorca 2024 Competition.

In this new cycle, they are committed to continue with the classic trajectory that precedes the oven, but with an innovative touch to make the typical specialities of their land known. They would like to thank the great welcome they have received from the people of the village since they opened and hope to continue to meet the expectations of their customers.
