Explora los sabores auténticos de Estremadura en una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable.
Extremadura is a land of broad horizons, deep history and wild nature. It is the cradle of the conquerors who forged empires and whose mark can be seen in the palaces of Cáceres and Trujillo. It is the indelible legacy of Rome, which shines with a unique splendor in Mérida, its ancient capital. Its landscape is the pasture, an idyllic ecosystem of holm oaks and cork oaks where the Iberian pig is raised, producing the best ham in the world. But Extremadura is also the intense green of La Vera, the waterfalls of the Jerte Valley in spring and the majestic flight of the vultures in the Monfragüe National Park. Visiting Extremadura is taking a trip to an authentic Spain without artifice, where history weighs and nature imposes its law, all paired with honest and powerful gastronomy.

Extremaduran gastronomy is country cuisine at its best. It is tasty, forceful and honest, based on the exceptional quality of its raw materials. Iberian pork is the absolute king, but lamb, cheeses, paprika and aromatic herbs are essential.
The star product. Considered the best ham in the world. It comes from Iberian pigs raised freely in the pastures and fed with acorns. Its flavor and aroma are unmatched.
A unique and delicious cheese, with D.O.P. Made with raw Merino sheep milk and vegetable rennet. Its interior is an almost liquid cream with an intense and slightly bitter flavor. It is eaten by opening the top and spreading it with bread.
The shepherds' breakfast or lunch. Hard bread soaked and slowly fried in oil with garlic, paprika and bacon. It is usually accompanied by fried peppers or sardines.
The stew of celebrations. Lamb or kid slowly stewed with pepper, onion, garlic, wine, and often fried and pounded liver to thicken the sauce.
A simple and refreshing salad. Roasted red peppers and tomatoes, peeled and seasoned with garlic and extra virgin olive oil.
The 'red gold' of Extremadura (with D.O.P.). Peppers slowly dried with oak wood smoke, which gives it an unmistakable smoky aroma and flavor. Essential in Spanish cuisine.
