Israel Romero / Wednesday, May 1, 2024 / Categories: Spanish Brands Punta Aljibe: When Wine Is What Matters Most Punta Aljibe When we talk about rice dishes or fideuás, the spotlight often falls on the garnishes of these marvelous dishes; however, their base is essential for them to become masterpieces of gastronomy. From the depths of the Mediterranean emerges its story Punta Aljibe: 100% natural and km 0 From the depths of the Mediterranean emerges its story Punta Aljibe is a narrative woven with the seas that surround us, authentic and rooted in the essence of nature. It is a family business with a seafaring tradition and a little over half a century of life, a legacy woven into every fiber of its being. Lorena Ruso is the CEO of Punta Aljibe, a native of Santa Pola (Alicante), passionate about what she does, and you fall in love with listening to her when she shows you the ingredients of her extraordinary caldo de caldero and the rest of the products you can already find on our Made in Spain Gourmet website. She has followed the fishing tradition of a family that for more than 50 years has been an ambassador of the fish of Santa Pola. And it's very simple: they have their own boats, commanded by her brothers, they fish around the bay of Santa Pola, and then they clean the fish and make their wonderful fish stocks and the shrimp fumet. We tried them, and since then we've been aware of how a dish turns out with a “real” fish stock. What they offer in supermarkets, even if they tell you it's made with natural ingredients, is actually industrial. Because you notice the difference when you can compare. There's no contest. Punta Aljibe is that gourmet stock you should have in your kitchen—Always!! Each moment culminates in the pleasure of enjoying their product. Every sip or spoonful closes a cycle that begins in the depths of the sea and finds its peak on your plate. Savor the story of Punta Aljibe, where tradition merges with the freshness of the sea in a symphony of flavors. Their identity arises from the natural waters that surround them, the Mediterranean Sea. Each of their products is the fruit of decades of fishing, carried out with their own means and resources, a dedication you can feel in every wave and taste in every bite. Excellence is their standard, and they guarantee it through careful production methods that ensure raw materials of the highest quality, directly from their boats to your table. Often, you don't need to embellish reality much more; you just need to try it, enjoy it, and share it. Punta Aljibe: 100% natural and km 0 Every drop of their stocks is made with fresh, natural products from their region, caught at sea and brought to your table using cutting-edge handling and transport methods. Punta Aljibe has kept the practice of fishing alive through generations, forging a product that represents the very essence of our waters. They use the traditional Santa Pola (Alicante) recipe to make their natural caldo de caldero, using only regional products and the prized Peix (fish) of Santa Pola. Their DNA is clearly recognizable on the Made in Spain Gourmet shelf with products that are 100% natural, featuring the best that the Bay of Santa Pola can offer. For them, eating well is a right, and their products are for everyday eating, not just special occasions, because they are 100% healthy and suitable for any type of consumer, with no contraindications. Times change, and having time to make high-quality dishes quickly is very difficult for everyday life. Now, with their gourmet stocks, it is possible to make a paella in less than 40 minutes with an exceptional, chef-level result in your home kitchen. A luxe experience within reach. In addition to their fish stocks and shrimp fumet, we also recommend the salmorreta alicantina, which is a sofrito with ñora very typical of Alicante, used in the preparation of Alicante-style rice dishes. It is a 100% homemade and artisanal product, made without preservatives or colorings and, moreover, does NOT contain gluten or lactose, and it is ideal for adding to your rice stock to achieve a spectacular flavor (it's a gourmet sofrito); and the shrimp extract, which is a concentrate of red shrimp from the waters of the Mediterranean, prepared in its own juice. It contains tomato, garlic, and oil, attending to the smallest detail to serve on your table. An excellent ally for adding the exquisite flavor of Mediterranean red shrimp to your dishes, sauces, or stews. Now you can enjoy a top-tier Mediterranean gastronomic experience. Thanks to Made in Spain Gourmet, gourmet Spain is closer every day.
