What is fascinating about that period is not only the territorial conquest, but how we managed to integrate and lead, creating ties that still endure today, centuries ...

Both are exceptional, however, and today we’re going to explain the differences between paletas and ham, or, in other words, the front legs and the hind legs. Is the paleta better… or the ham?

Goat or Sheep You may have wondered what differences you can find between a cheese made from goat's milk and one made from sheep's milk. It's a good question. What we can guarantee is that both are delicious and highly recommended, and we'd eat both every day! In our case we compare aged cheeses, so the difference will be more in the flavor than in the appearance. Very similar since they're aged for several months. The animal's milk ...

Differentiate yourself to achieve success The number of times I've heard and read that you have to differentiate yourself to achieve success. That recipe seems simple, but when you lack creativity, and worse, the money to invest in that differentiation, that's when an excellent product can be forgotten or simply not exist for the market. Spanish gourmet products are not exempt from this problem. Falta de conexiones Competing with Italians and the French is very difficult… but Our ...

The cold is coming! I remember that when late November arrived it was already time for puchero (a pot with a stew based on rice and/or legumes). Because it was simply a dish that provided energy and was full of plant and animal proteins (meat, chicken), and one you could have for at least two or three days a week. Now, without being so hearty, Made in Spain Gourmet offers you products that are very healthy and that should always be part of our Mediterranean diet, without a doubt, the best and ...
