Holy Week: Steps, Party… and Gourmet!

One of those most important moments of the year, and one that always particularly captivated me because it allowed me to enjoy the Andalusian and Spanish culture of Holy Week. Feelings, devotion, passion and of course excellent gastronomy. Above all, when we were leaving for the Pilgrimage on Holy Monday, surrounded by people riding their horses, charrés pushed by donkeys and also horses, quite a spectacle. And each family, with their “shipment” of food for their families and really, anyone who wants to share some time with them. Enjoying how the joy of eating and drinking local products is shared has always been an inspiration for me. AND Made in Spain Gourmet, is precisely that, sharing stories and people through its gastronomic products.

Because Made in Spain is Quality.

Olives are par excellence, one of the best excuses to share from a gastronomic point of view. They break the ice of many moments of celebration. One of the first things we like to drink with a good vermouth or a Fino from Jerez, and why not, with a very cool cava. But despite being a first bite, it has to be good or very good, that inspires you and makes you enjoy from that first moment. Gordal olives Of the cave They are authentic delicatessen, meaty and very well seasoned (more than a year in brine), from the sunny fields of the province of Seville, and that, if we accompany them with the Lustau family, vermouth or fine wines, there is nothing better to enjoy these days of relaxation , family and friends.

One of our latest additions to the Made in Spain Gourmet family. Beher (Bernardo Hernandez) It represents the Guijuelo tradition, doing things the way they should be done, with excellence as a reference. Thin slices machine-cut by a master cutter of the front limb from our own 100% Iberian pigs selected from birth and that undergo a traditional curing process, and that makes them representatives of that Iberian elite that you can enjoy in our store. Where there is only the best of our country.

Acorn-fed 100% Iberian, Pata Negra, It is the result of selecting the best pieces that form a limited series and numbered according to the vintage. With an unrepeatable flavor to enjoy at all hours, because ham is a delight to share at any time. A healthy, juicy, intense product with a delicious flavor. A small plate of this delicacy with a cava reserva is a wonder that should be enjoyed.

Here we have a luxury among Spanish mollusks, the oyster. The first company to make it canned good gourmet food. Oysters marinated in a delicious albariño vinaigrette. They open them, select them and place them fresh by hand, one by one, in the can, there is no more artisanal way to do it. As a result, the oysters retain a very natural flavor, with a special touch thanks to a vinaigrette made with oil, vinegar, Albariño, peppers and onion, which makes them unique. Accompany them with a Pere Ventura Vintage Rosé, and the experience will be tremendous.

A perfect blend of two wines in the traditional and genuine Solera and Criaderas system: An Amontillado, dry and with character. A Pedro Ximénez, sweet, intense and velvety. Wormwood, gentian and orange peel stand out among the more than 10 spices and aromatic plants carefully chosen for the production of Sherry Vermouth. Lustau has recovered the Jerez tradition of making a vermouth in which local wine is the true protagonist, and at Made in Spain Gourmet, we offer all our recommendations good gourmet food to pair them with a single possible result: Excellence. It accompanies one of the best gastronomic moments, Vermouth time, between preserved seafood and fish, olives and pickles. Not to mention a good board of sheep and goat cheeses.

In short, a host in every rule.
