The Foundation is constituted by patrons that can be individuals or institutions. Most individuals are pharmacists, but there are also some physicians. Among the institutions that are patrons of the Foundation are medical organizations such as the Academy of Medical Sciences of Catalonia and Balearic Islands (ACMCB) Spanish primary healthcare net (REAP) Group CESCA, a scientific organization of primary care and the Gerontology International Eoundation (FGI). The support of these medical societies is essential for the credibility and progress of pharmaceutical care practice.

Rossello et al. (1995) have described the production process of Sobrasada, which is typically produced in the Balearic Island off the coast of Spain. It usually contains approximately 50% fresh raw lean pork, 40% fresh pork fat, 5% paprika, 2% salt, and 5% white pepper. The lean and fat are finely ground and kneaded together until the mixture has a paste-like texture, after which the paprika, salt, and white pepper are mixed with the meat and stuffed into natural casings. The mbcture is held at about 4°C for 24 hr and ripened at ambient winter temperature of about 8-15%°C and a relative humidity of 60-85% for about 4 months.
