SPAIN FAMOUS FOOD

SPANISH GAZPACHO

Gazpacho is a cold vegetable soup that hails from the region


of Andalucia, hence the name ‘gazpacho Andaluz’.
Nowadays, it’s a very popular dish widely served and eaten
all over Spain, especially during the warmer summer months
as an appetizer or light meal or to drink as a healthy and
filling refreshment.

PAELLA

Paella is by far one of the most iconic and famous dishes of


Spanish cuisine and is often considered to be the national
dish of Spain.It is a flavourful and colourful rice dish which
gets its name from the wide shallow pan, known as a
‘paellera’ in which the dish is prepared.
PATATAS BRAVAS

Patatas Bravas is one of the most common tapas dishes


found on every menu in Spain. Originating from Madrid, they
were first served in the 60’s from the previous century
where potatoes were cut into irregular cubes and fried in
olive oil. The potatoes were served with a sauce made from
broth, spicy paprika and flour to thicken the sauce.
Nowadays the ‘salsa brava’ is made with tomato paste as a
base which is then cooked with oil and various spices. It
shouldn’t be very hot, but the sauce should still have a bit of
a kick.

CHURROS CON CHOCOLATE

Eaten and loved around the world, churros are by far one of
the most iconic and popular Spanish pastries. They are very
recognizable with their distinctive long and thin shape with
ridges, mostly served as street food in a bag.
Made with flour, water and salt, churros are dough pastries
which are deep-fried until golden and crispy then dusted
with icing sugar. They can be eaten like that or served with
a cup of thick chocolate sauce in which the churro can be
dipped.

TORTILLA DE PATATAS -SPANISH OMELETTE

The Spanish omelette, locally known as ‘tortilla Española’ or


‘tortilla de patatas’ is a traditional Spanish dish widely
enjoyed across Spain. Typically made with eggs, potatoes,
and olive oil, it is often enhanced with the addition of onions
for a touch of sweetness. Despite its seemingly simple
ingredients, cooking the perfect Spanish omelette requires
practice to achieve the ideal texture and height.

JAMÓN OR SPANISH HAM


Jamón Iberico’ or Iberian ham is a dry-cured ham produced
in Spain. It is one of the most recognisable ingredients or
products in Spanish cuisine. The dry curing of the ham is a
tradition that dates back over 2000 years and has been
perfected ever since.

‘Jamón Serrano’ or Serrano ham is made from the so-called


white pigs (like Duroc) while Jamón Iberico or Iberian ham is
made from the leg of the black pigs or the black Iberian pig.
The black pigs roam free and mainly feed on acorns (called
‘bellotas’ in Spanish).

OLIVE OIL

The natural juice obtained from the fresh, healthy fruits of


the olive, extra virgin olive oil, is widely revered as one of
the great ingredients in Spanish gastronomy. Its varied
aromas and flavors, culinary versatility and health-giving
attributes have been acknowledged and extolled by chefs,
gourmets and nutritionists the world over.

Spain’s geography and climate – with extensive mountain


slopes, mild or cold winters, and long, hot summers – are
ideal for olive cultivation. The olive tradition existed prior to
the Roman domination of Spain, although it was the Romans
who extended cultivation and developed oil production. Over
the centuries, olive-growing has had an uneven history in
line with political, economic and even religious affairs, but
its overwhelming, constant presence has molded the
landscape in many parts of Spain and, to some extent,
determined the lifestyle and eating habits of its inhabitants.
And the tradition has now been revitalized.

SPANISH WINE

Spanish wine (Spanish: vino español or vino de España)


includes red, white, and sparkling wines produced throughout the country.
Located on the Iberian Peninsula, Spain has over 1.2 million hectares
(3.0 million acres) planted in wine grapes, making it the most widely
planted wine-producing nation,[1] but the third largest producer of wine in
the world, behind Italy and France and ahead of the United States;[2] this is
due, in part, to the very low yields and wide spacing of the old vines
planted on the dry soils found in some of the Spanish wine regions.

CITRUS FRUITS

Citrus fruits occupy a prominent place in Spanish


agriculture. Spain is one of the world's leading producers of
citrus fruits, with regions such as Valencia and Andalusia
famous for their high quality lemons and grapefruit.
Agricultural production, including citrus production, involves
a range of greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to
climate change. From fertilizer use to farm machinery and
transport, each stage of the process has its own carbon
footprint. In the case of lemons and grapefruit, for which
demand has increased worldwide, understanding and
addressing this footprint becomes crucial to promote
sustainability in the agricultural industry.
