Spanish Ingredients
Delve into Spain’s rich larder, from deep red Paprika, smoked over Extremadura holly oak for 15 days, to hand-picked saffron from the crocus fields of Castilla-La Mancha, outrageously plump Gordal olives from Seville, or powerful cask-aged vinegars and complex agridulces from the cellars of Catalonia, for marinades, dressings and sauces.
Spain is home to some of our longest-standing producers, like Eduard in L’Albagés, Catalonia, the third generation of a family we’ve worked with for 25 years. His Arbequina olives are naturally irrigated and hand harvested for our bestselling Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Verdemanda Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
