If there is something that characterizes Spanish gastronomy, it is its rich tradition in cured meats. One of the most emblematic is undoubtedly the salchichón fuet, a delicacy that not only delights the palate, but also has a fascinating history.

Originally from Catalonia, fuet is made from minced and spiced pork, adding salt, pepper and sometimes a touch of garlic. Its name comes from the Catalan word meaning “rod”, alluding to its thin, elongated shape. Fuet is cured in a controlled environment, which gives it its characteristic mild flavor and slightly dry texture.

One of the most appreciated characteristics of fuet sausage is its versatility. It can be enjoyed alone, accompanied by bread and cheese, or as part of a charcuterie board. In addition, its popularity has transcended borders, becoming a sausage appreciated not only in Spain, but also in many corners of the world.

There is no better way to get to know the culture of a country than through its food. So the next time you have the opportunity, don't hesitate to try a good salchichón fuet, your palate will thank you!

Ham is one of the most emblematic products of Spanish gastronomy, and within this world, ham legs occupy a privileged place. Not only are they a culinary delight, but they also represent an art and a tradition.

Ham legs come mainly from pigs of specific breeds. The quality of the ham is largely determined by the animal's diet, which often includes acorns in the case of Iberian ham

The curing process is an art in itself. After the pig is slaughtered, the legs are salted and left to cure in a controlled environment for a period that can vary from 12 months to several years. This process allows for the development of complex flavors and a texture that melts in the mouth.

There are different types of ham that are distinguished not only by the breed of pig, but also by the curing method:

• Jamón Ibérico de Bellota or acorn-fed iberian ham: Considered the king of ham, it comes from pigs fed on acorns. Its flavor is intense and its fat melts beautifully when sliced.
• Jamón Serrano or serrano ham: From white pigs, this type of ham is cured for a shorter time, but it is also exquisite and versatile.
• Jamón de Cebo o Cebo ham: This ham comes from pigs raised in freedom or semi-freedom, fed mainly with feed. Its curing and flavor are of high quality, although less complex than those of Iberian ham.

How to Cut and Taste

Cutting a ham leg is an art that requires technique and practice. To obtain the best slices, it is advisable to use a specific ham knife and follow these steps:

• Positioning: Make sure the leg is well secured in a ham holder.
• First Cut: Make a cross-cut in the meatiest part, which will allow the meat to breathe and remain juicy.
• Slicing: Start cutting thin slices, following the direction of the grain of the meat.

For maximum enjoyment, accompany the ham slices with fresh bread, extra virgin olive oil and, if you dare, a good red wine.

Whether you're enjoying a ham tasting in a tavern in Spain or simply savoring a piece at home, every bite is a reminder of the dedication and artistry behind this delicacy. So the next time you see a leg of ham, remember that you are looking at a gastronomic jewel that deserves to be appreciated. Bon appetit!

Spanish cuisine is famous around the world, from Iberian ham to paella. However, with the growing popularity of Spanish cuisine, there has also been increasing confusion about which products are truly authentic. If you want to make sure that what you are buying is genuinely Spanish, here are some tips.

1. Look for Quality Seals
One of the first steps is to identify the quality seals that guarantee the authenticity of the products. For example, products with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) or Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) are good signs. These seals ensure that the product has been produced in a specific region and following traditional methods.

2. Research the Origin
Always verify the origin of the product. Many authentic Spanish products, such as olive oil, wine or Manchego cheese, carry labels indicating their origin. A glance at the label can save you a lot of disappointment.

3. Check the Composition
The list of ingredients is key. Make sure the ingredients are of Spanish origin and do not contain unnecessary additives. For example, an authentic Spanish chorizo should be made with pork, paprika and spices, with no artificial preservatives.

4. Buy in Trusted Places
Buying products in specialized stores or directly from local producers is an excellent way to guarantee authenticity. Do your research and choose suppliers who take pride in what they offer and can provide you with information about their products.

5. Learn about Culture and Tradition
Learning more about the culture and culinary traditions of Spain will help you recognize authentic products. Research traditional recipes and how the products you consume are made. This will not only enrich your gastronomic experience, but will also allow you to distinguish between the authentic and the fake.


Making sure a product is authentic Spanish requires a little research and attention to detail. By following these tips, you will be able to enjoy the rich Spanish gastronomy with the certainty that you are choosing genuine products. Enjoy your meal!

Paella, one of the most iconic dishes in Spanish cuisine, is famous for its vibrant flavor and distinctive golden color. But what really makes paella so special? The answer, in large part, lies in the saffron. In this post, we'll explore how this essential spice not only embellishes paella, but also uniquely enriches its flavor.

Saffron is the star ingredient, with its deep golden color and unmistakable aroma, saffron not only enhances the presentation of the dish, but also adds a deep and complex flavor that is hard to replace.

The magic of saffron in paella lies in its ability to impart a subtle yet sophisticated flavor. When infused in the paella broth, saffron releases its essential oils and pigments, which integrate perfectly with the ingredients of the dish, creating a perfect balance between the rice, seafood and vegetables.

To get the most out of saffron, it is crucial to use it correctly. Here are some tips:

• Infuse beforehand: Before adding saffron to your paella, infuse it in some hot liquid. This helps release its essential oils and ensure that its flavor is evenly distributed throughout the dish.
• Moderate Amount: Because of its potency, you only need a small amount of saffron to achieve the desired effect. Generally, a few strands are sufficient for a large paella.
• Add at the Right Time: Add saffron at the end of the cooking process to preserve its flavor and aroma. This also ensures that the golden color blends evenly with the rice.

Saffron is much more than just a spice in paella; it is the ingredient that elevates this traditional dish to new heights. Its ability to bring vibrant color and deep flavor is unmatched.
