Deli features foods from bountiful Spanish region

This is a big week for fans of España! Zingerman’s Deli will be featuring foods from Extremadura, an autonomous region bordering Portugal known for yielding an extraordinarily generous harvest. The region is full of plantations of tomatoes, peppers, green beans, cucumbers, rice, carrots, asparagus, and olives, rivaling Andalusia as a producer of the latter.

Extremadura also has a long tradition of excellent meat and dairy products. The animals are well-cared for, and the resulting products are of an outstanding quality. The region gave us such delicacies as Ibérico hams, chorizos (pork sausage), and morcilla (black sausage), and its herds of goats and sheep provide the milk for cheeses such as Torta del Casar, Torta de  la Serena, Ibores, and, of course, Finca Pascualete. 

This week, we’ll feature samplings throughout the day of the finest foods that Extremadura has to offer, so be sure to stop by for a taste of Spain! We’re also hosting two very special events with some of the people who make it possible to enjoy the foods of Extremadura here in the U.S.

Stop by Zingerman’s Deli this week and take a little bit of Extremadura home with you!

See you soon!
