Menorquina

Kalise is a Spanish ice cream and dessert manufacturing company, established in 1960 and based on Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. The company was part of the "Grupo Kalise–La Menorquina S.A.", after merging with another ice cream company of Spain, La Menorquina. During that partnership, Kalise commercialised its products for public sale, while La Menorquina focused on the restaurant trade. In 2017, both companies separated again when the GKM was acquired by Grupo Farga for EU 40 million. Since then, Kalise has remained as a separate company.

Life Span 18-22 years

What to Know Before Buying a Menorquina

Finding a responsible Menorquina breeder requires more than browsing classified ads or responding to social media posts. The USDA requires any breeder who sells cattles commercially — especially those selling online or through third-party dealers — to hold a federal license and submit to regular inspections. A legitimate breeder should be willing to provide their USDA license number, invite you to visit their facility, and show you where the animals are housed and socialized.

Before committing to a purchase, ask the breeder for veterinary health records, vaccination documentation, and any genetic testing results relevant to the Menorquina. Reputable breeders will also ask you questions in return — about your living situation, experience with animals, and ability to provide long-term care. A breeder who asks no questions and is eager to ship an animal immediately is a significant red flag.

Use the search tool below to check whether any USDA-licensed facilities breeding Menorquinas appear in our database. If they do, review their inspection history carefully. Look for patterns of violations, pay attention to severity levels, and compare their compliance grade with other breeders in the same state. This due diligence takes minutes and can save you from supporting a facility with documented animal welfare problems.
