Every day we are happier for what we do. Introduce unknown products to people who appreciate it. Share stories of producers that help their international dissemination, and above all, generate a community of people who know what they want and how they want it. Our community grows day after day, across Spain, Portugal... the rest of Europe and the United States. This market is particularly appreciated by us because we believe that we must explain correctly what Spanish gourmet products are and why they are the best in the world. And for this reason, we have the privilege of sharing this knowledge with North American professionals, from May 18 to 21 at the most important food fair organized there, the National Restaurants Association Exhibition.
Made in Spain Gourmet will be present with its own stand, with the aim of showing North Americans our excellent products and why they are unique. The key to our success is to make known the best that is made in Spain, and to make it easier to obtain. Without further ado. We begin the month of May 2024, and like every beginning of the month, we suggest some of those essential products.
Here are the Essentials for the month of May.
Enjoy them!!

An authentic jewel of Spanish gastronomy, this 100% Iberian Bellota Ham Pata Negra DO Extremadura that is raised freely in the pastures. It has a cure of a minimum of 36 months. These hams are synonymous with the authenticity of their genetics and the fine cane in their hoof.

They are supported by two R&D&i projects, their exceptional genetics and health, with their qualification that of Special Health Protection Farm and Genetic Selection Farm.
Merit red wine, Perinet Winery
Merit, expression of the typical Priorat llicorella soil brought to the bottle, the result of a blend mainly of Merlot and Syrah, along with Grenache and Cariñena. The grapes ferment together, as they are picked, at their point to express the fresh red fruit. This wine, bright ruby and deep in color, expresses the vintage in many aspects. The nose is delicious, although also delicate, with a lot of fruit and a fresh and pleasant finish. In the mouth this translates into the integration of undergrowth notes, with subtle touches of wild herbs and earthy memories. The vineyards of perinet They comprise three great visions of the historic Priorat. The whole project allows the Perinet vineyards to shape a new balance of styles in wine making. This means that the authenticity of the landscape is transmitted in different wines from the estate, always linked to the climate and slate soil of Priorat.
