And others that come back stronger than ever. The Gilda is one of them. It was born in the bars of northern Spain more than 80 years ago, and today it is a true star of the contemporary tapas scene, loved by chefs, foodies and young people who rediscover in it a classic full of personality. At Made in Spain Store, we bring you the authentic artisan Gildas from Casa Santoña, made with Cantabrian salt-cured anchovies, and mild piparra peppers, assembled by hand with the utmost care. Because Made in Spain is Quality. They are a briny, vibrant bite full of character: The olive adds fleshiness, the piparra a subtle, fresh heat, and the anchovy a marine depth that captivates from the first bite. A simple tapa, yes, but with stunning elegance.
