Premium Cavas
One of our biggest challenges when we created Made in Spain Gourmet was ensuring that Cava would find the true place it deserves in the world. We have always been led to think (and the French have done this very well) of Champagne as the drink for joy and special celebrations. But Cava, and Premium Cava, is without a doubt an alternative that should be discovered, and above all, enjoyed.
Currently, on the Iberian Peninsula premium Cavas with long aging periods are produced that have ...

And humbly, that will ALWAYS be our goal: to inspire confidence.

Anchovies from Santoña
This is another of the Spanish products that are considered the best in the world. However, they are still very little known outside our borders. But Made in Spain Gourmet is already working to reverse the situation.

Set d’oli
One of the first companies with which we began our Made in Spain Gourmet development was Set d’Oli. We fell in love with their way of thinking, because we saw that it matched our way of doing things. Only making the best Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) possible. And that’s exactly what they do.

Christmas Special
We're already getting warmed up for Christmas. In Spain, Christmas cuisine has evolved a lot in recent years. But what is not lacking, nor will be, are the abundant sweets, because sweets bring joy and, when shared, even more.

Spanish gourmet product
It's an idyllic category where all Spanish producers would want to be. But it's not easy. There's too much intrusion, and there's no clarity about who deserves to be in this category and who doesn't. Made in Spain Gourmet has its own classification... and it's very reliable.

All Saints' Day
All Saints' Day, November 1, is a very special date on the calendar. It is a day when families honor their deceased loved ones, remembering them that day with various offerings. Although it is not an especially joyful holiday, it can be observed in many ways; at Made in Spain Gourmet it marks the beginning of autumn from a gastronomic point of view.
But, going back to the original question: What is the origin ...

Daring to experiment
If there's one thing that's a must when cooking, it's daring to experiment. There's nothing like discovering new flavors and enjoying new taste sensations.
Who hasn't at some point had the experience of being in the kitchen and accidentally combining two flavors that might seem opposed, and yet, once they meet on the palate, discovering that they can be more complementary than you'd expected?
In the culinary world, there are no rules. And so much so that, ...

La Curiosa
La Curiosa's cans are as curious on the outside as they are on the inside. It's very distinctive packaging, something that hadn't been seen before in the world of canned goods. It's a young, carefree line. According to its thirty-something founder, Cristóbal Fernández, the goal was to take the can out of the classic, conservative, and boring world of design.

The importance of investing in marketing
We keep hearing that “the Italians, and to a lesser extent the French, do it better than we do” and that’s why they sell more. But we find it hard to accept that a large percentage of those sales come from their investment in marketing.

Our Gourmet Products
We have a mistaken image of what this country is. TV series and movies have made us believe that society as a whole is ignorant about gastronomy, and that its typical diet is based on fast food—very high in calories and full of saturated fats. That misconception has caused us to waste a lot of time in Spain.
It's a huge country, with more than 330 million inhabitants, diverse, very diverse. And all kinds of food are eaten. But mind you, there's also a lot of very...

Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil
We often hear, both in Europe and in the USA, that the best extra virgin olive oil is Italian. And why is that? Well, it's true that their oil is excellent, but there's a lot of marketing we need to unmask so we realize that the best EVOO is Spanish.

Universal brand
Es una de las preguntas que nos hicimos en Made in Spain Gourmet desde nuestros inicios. Otros países como Francia e Italia, tienen consolidados sus categorías gourmet a nivel internacional, nosotros no. Alimentos de España no puede englobar en un mismo nivel a nuestros productos gourmet. Nosotros trabajamos para posicionar esa categoría como se merece, aunque estamos aún muy solos haciéndolo.

Paella
Paella is without a doubt one of the most popular dishes in our country and is considered a symbol of Spanish cuisine. Its popularity has spread around the world, although it's worth remembering that it all started in Valencia.
Yes, paella originated in the 15th century in Valencia. Although there are no written records of paella until the 18th century, it is known that it was cooked centuries earlier. The first paellas were simple dishes cooked in the countryside ...
