Preparation

"In every bite of our tabla de quesos y embutidos, you taste the essence of Spain – the sun-soaked fields of Andalusia, the rugged terrain of the Pyrenees, and the passion of generations dedicated to perfecting the art of crafting Manchego, Jamón Serrano, Chorizo, and other traditional delicacies. It's not just a platter; it's a journey through the heart and soul of Spanish gastronomy."

Tabla de Quesos - Artisanal Spanish cheese platter with Manchego, Caña de Cabra, and aged Mahón, served with marinated olives, pan con tomate.

Preparation

"At the heart of Jamón Bellota lies a centuries-old tradition, where pigs roam free under the Spanish sun, feasting on acorns amidst ancient oak forests. It's not just cured meat; it's a taste of the untamed spirit of Spain."

Jamón Ibérico de Bellota - Spain’s most prized ingredient, hand-carved, acorn-fed Ibérico ham, aged for 36 months. Sweet, rich, nutty, thinly sliced, a melt-in-your mouth experience. Offered at all of our 10 locations.
