Santiago de compostela -- Gastronomy
This region produces meats of the highest quality. Oxen from the abattoirs of the province of A Coruña are considered to be of exceptional quality. Pork is used to make a wide variety of sausages. Pork meat is the main ingredient of rich dishes like Galician stew and the classical shoulder of pork with turnip tops, potatoes and Spanish sausage cured with paprika. We must not forget a delicious speciality: the Galician style tripe, escorted by chickpeas and seasoned with cumin.The local farms produce turnip tops and turnip leaves and we must mention the great potatoes from the region of Bergantiños and the peppers from Padrón, the best known of all, although the peppers from Narón and Betanzos are also very good.
When it comes to cheese, the province of A Coruña produces a good part of those that belong to the Designations of Origin Ulloa-Arzúa and Tetilla, always made with cow's milk. When it comes to desserts, we must begin by saying one thing: the filloas, very similar to crêpes and common everywhere in Galicia, are nowadays made with milk, flour and eggs instead of the traditional recipe which included pork stock or pig's blood in the dough. Another outstanding dessert is Santiago almond tart, a delicious treat that you simply must try. Local specialities include the typical honey fritters from Melide.
A Coruña is not a wine-producing province. However, to the south, by the right bank of the Ulla River and the Arosa estuary, there is a wine region that belongs to the Designation of Origin Rías Baixas, where they make an excellent Albariños white wine. In Betanzos they also make wine, named after the town. It is a fruity wine, with a pleasant level of acidity, on its way to obtaining its own Designation of Origin. When it comes to spirits, we have the excellent orujos (liqueur distilled from grape remains) from Ulla and Betanzos, as well as the traditional Galician herbs liquor, morello cherry liquor and coffee . For the best of Galician cuisine with a touch of innovation and creativity, try the Casa Pardo Restaurant, rated 1 sun by the CAMPSA guide.
