There’s something curious about September: suddenly, the schedules, school bags, alarm clocks… all come back. Routine is back, and with it come Spanish snacks and nibbles. Getting back into a routine doesn’t mean giving up the things we love most about Spain.
We’ve noticed that some of the products in our catalogue are particularly popular for everyday Spanish snacks and nibbles. These products are the perfect solution for those tricky moments when you simply don’t know what to make to eat.
Here are the 5 essentials to survive September
If you still haven’t thought carefully about how you’re going to tackle the return to your routine or get the little ones ready for going back to school, Gastronomic Spain is here to lend you a hand. We’re bringing you the 5 essentials to survive September and enjoy getting back into the swing of things.
1. Salchichón: The classic that never fails!
Salchichón: This is the classic that never fails. A simple but delicious sandwich. In our online shop, we have an Iberian cular salchichón that you absolutely love.
Slice it into thin pieces and serve it with crusty bread, warmed up beforehand in a frying pan, for a delicious snack for the little ones or the perfect nibble to share when us adults finally get a chance to take a break.
¡A delicious!
2. Sobrasada: A different snack that we all love
Sobrasada: Spread it on toasted bread on its own or, as some of our customers do, add a drizzle of olive oil and a little parsley. According to what you’ve told us, this gives the mixture a special touch that makes it even more unique.
Our Iberian sobrasada de vela is a different kind of snack that both children and adults love. It will save you when you’re stuck wondering what to make for an afternoon snack or dinner. Absolutely spectacular for getting back into your September routine!
3. Chorizo: The cured sausage that can never be missing from your Spanish Snacks and Nibbles
Chorizo: This classic can never be missing. It’s one of your favourites and is always one of our best-selling products. For the few adventurous ones among you, we have spicy options, but for everyone else — and there are plenty of you — milder flavours are the favourite.
The great thing about Iberian chorizo de vela is that it works perfectly for traditional Spanish snacks and nibbles, but it can also be used in dishes such as Spanish omelettes, lentils or beans. It’s so versatile that it can be used in a huge variety of dishes, adding a unique and special flavour.
4. Fuet: Something we all love!
Fuet: We all love it, both children and adults! A fuet sandwich or a piece served as an appetiser before a light dinner is something that can never be missing from the table.
If you have guests coming over and don’t know what to offer them, Argal 1914 fuet could be the solution to your problem.
It’s a Spanish snack or appetiser that simply can’t go wrong because the vast majority of people love it.¡A delicious!
5. Cebo-fed acorn ham shoulder: When you want to turn an ordinary day into something special
Ham shoulder: Many people prefer ham, but hand-carved acorn-fed ham shoulder is a delicacy that few palates have had the privilege of experiencing.
It isn’t a particularly well-known cured meat, not because it lacks quality — quite the opposite, especially ours, which is 50% Iberian — but simply because many people haven’t tried it yet.Now you can give yourself the chance to try a delicacy that we’re sure you’ll love!
Cured meats are the perfect choice for Spanish Snacks and Nibbles.
Just looking at the photos makes us want to enjoy one of these 5 essentials. Now imagine actually tasting these delicacies and sharing them with family and friends.
If you’re looking for more ideas for getting back to school — snacks, traditional Spanish nibbles, spectacular lunches and delicious meals — we’ve included our cured meats category so you can discover and choose the products you love most or simply fancy treating yourself to.
Our selection of cured meats for this beautiful time of year, with autumn just around the corner, is already prepared and ready to be sent wherever you are in Europe.
