Cuisine from Extremadura covers a vast spectrum from simple recipes to cutting-edge innovation. Its core values are freshness and quality.
The best ham in the world comes from Iberian pigs that live among holm oaks in the Extremaduran countryside and feed on acorns. Its D.O. is Dehesa de Extremadura.
There are also other regional specialities such as Ternera de Extremadura (beef) and Cordero de Extremadura, known as CORDEREX (lamb), while among cheeses we can find Ibores, a goat’s cheese, and Serena, a creamy sheep’s cheese. Olive oil comes from Monterubio and Gata-Hurdes, where we can often encounter olive trees intermingling with vines. Wines from Extremadura are just as varied as its cuisine. Each delicatessen product can find a perfect partner among the region’s wines. This can be extended beyond Extremadura – the D.O.’s wines make a perfect couple with any enjoyable meal.
