Authentic
Spanish Food:
Whether they
are at a family gathering or joining with their neighbors for a local fiesta,
the rich bounty of their land is the centerpiece of any Spanish celebration.
And why not? Their beautiful country is overflowing with a vast array of
foods that are the fruit of their country's diverse ecology. |
Jamón
- Spanish Ham:
Jamon is the
emblematic food of Spain, cured in remote mountain villages for thousands
of years. Spain produces two famous types of Jamon. Firstly there is the
famous Jamon Serrano, made from normal pigs, which is featured at every
bar and restaurant in Spain. And then there is the legendary Jamon Iberico,
made from black Iberico pigs native only to Spain. These have just arrived
from Spain for the first time ever! |
Seafood
from Spain:
Seafood is
key to the healthy Mediterranean diet and is central to the cuisine of
Spain, which is virtually surrounded by Mediterranean and Atlantic waters.
We invite you to explore the world of Spanish seafood, including: Bacalao,
or salt cod, plump loins of cod semi-salted for easy preparation. Boquerones
(white anchovies) are so mild and delicate that people eat them just as
they are - a delightful snack. And Spanish tuna in many varieties: bonito
del norte tuna packed in Spanish olive oil, the buttery bonito del norte
fillets called ventresca, and the sun-dried tuna delicacy called mojama. |
Paella:
As you stroll
the streets of Valencia during Las Fallas, their dramatic springtime festival,
what will linger in your memory most of all will be the mouth-watering
aromas of steam and simmering paella wafting from huge, black pans over
open fires within each neighborhood. Let us start you on your journey to
the perfect paella! |
Kitchen
& Table:
During our
travels across Spain we always find ourselves focusing on the meals we
share together, and the importance that Spaniards give to sharing a meal
with friends and family. We love discovering new cuisines and learning
the history and traditions of these foods from our hosts. Part of this
experience always involves the presentation -- enjoying sizzling garlic
shrimp in a terra-cotta cazuela or seafood paella presented in a pan blackened
by thousands of previous feasts. In this part of our shop we feature the
pans, plates, serving platters and cutlery that have been an essential
part of our experiences in Spain. |
