As expected, it has been impossible for us to gather all the products that Andalusia has to offer into a single post. If you haven't yet read our first tour of Andalusia, we recommend you take a look. glance. And, if you're already up to date, we continue our journey with this post from EDYPRO We have prepared this for you, in which we discuss some of the products in whose creation we have participated.
- It's impossible not to stop at the vineyards of Jerez and the Alpujarra. With the return to activity after the restrictions, tourism has rebounded strongly, and many are seeking destinations like the vineyards of the Alpujarra, where 801% of the province's wines are produced. So much so that the wine sector has established itself as one of the main tourist attractions in this region. And rightly so, its vineyards offer a perfect pairing of nature and gastronomy. We mustn't forget the cradle of wine tourism par excellence in Andalusia: Jerez de la Frontera, in Cádiz. Its vineyards and wineries provide the perfect setting to delight the palate with some of the most important wine-producing temples in Europe. Within the Jerez region, we find all the vineyards located towards the west, where the winds create a perfect atmosphere, the albariza soil, and the climate make this renowned production possible.
- He tomato cultivation industry Tomatoes for canning are widely cultivated in the Lower Guadalquivir region of Seville, with nearly 6,000 hectares concentrated mainly in municipalities such as Utrera, Los Palacios, Lebrija, and Las Cabezas de San Juan. However, we are seeing its expansion into other municipalities in the Vega de Sevilla region. This type of tomato is typically planted in stages between March and May. This system allows for gradual harvesting, so the tomatoes from all the municipalities are picked in approximately 70-80 days.
- The potato. The main potato-producing region in Andalusia is Seville, followed by Cádiz and Málaga. Potatoes are a staple crop in the districts of Las Marismas, El Aljarafe, and La Vega, with municipalities like La Rinconada boasting over 1,200 hectares dedicated to their cultivation. Among the benefits of the new potato They are especially praised for being fresh, healthy, and flavorful. In fact, an increase in the consumption of this type of fresh potato in households has been observed compared to preserved potatoes. This is because new potatoes from Andalusia are harvested and sold during the appropriate season without undergoing any post-harvest preservation process.
- The carrot. It is a vegetable with so many beneficial properties for humans that it is no wonder that its Carrot cultivation continues to grow daily. In Spain, the province of Cádiz is the leading producer of carrots, followed by Seville and Málaga. These vegetables are produced for both domestic consumption and export, with France, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and Germany being the main destinations. Andalusia undoubtedly enjoys a privileged climate, but it is also worth highlighting the modern production techniques applied in its fields, which are increasingly sustainable and efficient. All of these factors combined have made it the leading carrot-producing region in Spain today.
- The almond. Rich in potassium, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and iron, this nut is essential in our diet. Almería, Málaga, and Granada account for 961,000 tons of almond orchards in Andalusia; however, Huelva, Seville, and Córdoba are experiencing the greatest expansion with new farms, primarily irrigated. Currently, Andalusia obtains... 40% of the total almonds collected in Spain.
Products that are nurtured and cared for in every detail from planting, to reach our homes in the freshest and most sustainable way possible. An effort and work that consumers increasingly value.
How many of these foods do you have at home? If we are what we eat, we are all a little bit Andalusian.
