Israel Romero / Friday, October 23, 2020 / Categories: Blog How to Find Happiness: The Pleasure of Eating Premium Spanish Gourmet Foods Premium Spanish Gastronomic Products Over the past two years I have found that happiness can be reached in many ways. But one I hadn't identified was gastronomy as a thread that influences your mood. It really works. Food as an essential life tool Knowing the origin of the products Improves your mood I'm not going to name others in history who may have found happiness through gastronomy, and I'm certainly not the first to feel this way. But what I can tell you is that the sensation of eating well is almost indescribable. Does that mean you can only eat well by eating expensive products? Absolutely not. There are many ways to eat well, and not all products need to be of the highest quality that would make your shopping basket unaffordable or only for some pockets. I'm talking about combining top-quality products (the ones we have at MadeinSpain.store) with others to truly obtain a gastronomic pleasure that leads to a moment of happiness. Food is one of the most essential tools for our life Gastronomy is the art of discovering new flavors, and of having them provide values and sensations that, over time, when you feel them again, bring those memories back to mind and lead you to a moment of past happiness. And that's always an especially interesting incentive to escape the usual daily monotony. Thanks to discovering the products we've been adding to our website MadeinSpain.store and to the advice of our Chef and Gastronomy Ambassador Xavier Lahuerta, I can say that eating has truly become a pleasure. Knowing the origin of the products Getting to know the origin of the products, the company's history, the people behind them, how they make them… has really moved me to discover them all. I'm discovering many of them, the quality they hold, and the reasons behind how they are made and their benefits for our health. And after this pandemic situation, I will go and get to know my country, Spain, which offers so many things that are so little known… The enormous variety of extra virgin olive oils, wines produced organically and biodynamically, canned Galician mussels selected annually, cured sausages made the way they were 150 years ago, Iberian pigs raised within a 50 km radius of the village where they are slaughtered and cured to offer a unique delicacy, rice that absolutely respects the environment of a Natural Park such as the Albufera, honeys produced in one of the areas with the cleanest air in Catalonia… and I could go on with each and every one of the products. That's what MadeinSpain means to us. Thanks to Xavier Lahuerta, I have discovered, for example, a carrot cream (very simple to make), finished with extra virgin olive oil, a baked chocolate with flaked salt and natural sweetener, seasonal salads with touches of honey, or natural jams that simply changed the meaning of the dish. In short, this has contributed to a greater sense of happiness growing inside me and is like an elixir toward a happier, more positive outlook on life. We have shaped our leisure around gastronomy, and it has helped us socialize with family and friends, so it is an interesting way to share your free time while discovering and tasting the most select delicacies our country produces. People show interest in knowing the origins of products and learning how to eat them better; thanks to the information we provide, it gives them a very different experience when they consume them. Improves your mood It is very important for our well-being to eat what fully satisfies us. Always keeping in mind the importance of healthy eating, whenever it's within our reach we should try to find a balance with our preferences. Additionally, many foods help us release serotonins and endorphins, which are substances that help us feel happy and rested, so we can say that gastronomy is always a perfect occasion to make our lives better. Gastronomy is the raison d'être of MadeinSpain.store. If you want to discover all the benefits it can bring to your life, what are you waiting for to visit us? You will have a unique culinary experience. Why do we lie to ourselves?
