For the chefs from Spain !
Our Ambassador for Spain : Chef Jorge Ubalde
« English:
Spain's gastronomy is world-renowned for its incredible diversity, emphasizing fresh, high-quality ingredients sourced from both land and sea. At the
heart of Spanish culinary culture is the tradition of tapas, where small, flavorful plates are shared among friends in lively bars. Perhaps the most iconic dish is paella, a vibrant rice
specialty originating from Valencia that traditionally features saffron, vegetables, and various proteins like rabbit or seafood. Regional variety is immense, ranging from the fresh seafood and
hearty stews of the north to the gazpacho and deep-fried fish specialties of the sunny south. Olive oil acts as the liquid gold of the Spanish kitchen, forming the essential base for most
dressings, sautés, and traditional cooking techniques. Jamón ibérico, a cured ham from acorn-fed pigs, is widely considered one of the finest delicacies in the world, prized for its complex,
nutty flavor and melt-in-the-mouth texture. Cheese lovers find a paradise in Spain, with hundreds of varieties including the famous, sharp Manchego made from sheep's milk in the La Mancha region.
Sweet endings are just as celebrated, with treats like churros dipped in thick, rich hot chocolate or the creamy, caramelized classic known as crema catalana. Wine plays a central role in every
meal, with regions like Rioja and Ribera del Duero producing world-class vintages that perfectly complement the local cuisine. Ultimately, Spanish dining is a communal experience that celebrates
not just the food itself, but the slow, joyful art of eating well with others.

La gastronomía española es mundialmente reconocida por su increíble diversidad, destacando el uso de ingredientes frescos y de alta calidad tanto de la tierra como del mar. En el corazón de la cultura culinaria española se encuentra la tradición de las tapas, pequeños platos llenos de sabor que se comparten entre amigos en bares llenos de vida. Quizás el plato más icónico sea la paella, una vibrante especialidad a base de arroz originaria de Valencia que tradicionalmente lleva azafrán, verduras y diversas proteínas como conejo o mariscos. La variedad regional es inmensa, desde los pescados frescos y los guisos contundentes del norte hasta el gazpacho y las frituras de pescado del soleado sur. El aceite de oliva es el "oro líquido" de la cocina española, constituyendo la base esencial para la mayoría de los aliños, sofritos y técnicas de cocina tradicional. El jamón ibérico, curado a partir de cerdos alimentados con bellotas, es considerado una de las mayores exquisiteces del mundo por su sabor complejo y su textura que se deshace en la boca. Los amantes del queso encuentran un paraíso en España, con cientos de variedades que incluyen el famoso y potente queso manchego, elaborado con leche de oveja en la región de La Mancha. Los finales dulces son igual de celebrados, con delicias como los churros bañados en chocolate caliente espeso o el clásico cremoso y caramelizado conocido como crema catalana. El vino desempeña un papel central en cada comida, con regiones como Rioja y Ribera del Duero produciendo caldos de clase mundial que complementan perfectamente la cocina local. En última instancia, comer en España es una experiencia comunitaria que celebra no solo la comida en sí, sino el arte pausado y alegre de disfrutar de un buen plato en compañía.»
