La Bodega

Boquerones. White anchovies fillets from the Cantabrian Sea north of Galicia marinated in vinegar, salt, garlic and parsley. This is my favorite fish conserve by far. Perfect on salad or simply plate and drizzle with olive oil. You can also spread my Tumaca Sauce (tomatoes, garlic and Olive Oil) on a toast and enjoy a really delicious and healthy meal.

For a real and great paella, try these ingredients from La Bodega!

Jamon Iberico vs Jamon serrano. Which one is the Iberico?

The best Chorizos in town. The traditional and original Chorizo is from Spain and it's sweet. Try them and you'll never be back to other versions.

Remember to get the medley Losada Olives with 5 different types of delicious olives from Seville: Pico Limon, Zorzaleña, Cuquillo, Verdial and Gordal (my favorite!)

Serranito sandwich is one of my favorites! Made with pork loin, green pepper, Manchego cheese, Tumaca sauce and Jamon Serrano

Perfect cheese pairings. Get delicious Spanish cheese at La Bodega and don't forget to add one of these classic pairings from Spain

New gourmet products from Spain just arrived!

Why is hand-carving Jamón Ibérico important? Machine-slicing Jamón alters the flavor, adding a metallic taste, numbs the aroma and causes loss of the properties that make it so special. It takes an expert who masters the art of slicing jamón by hand in order to fully appreciate this savory meat at its full potential.... Using a special knife and a centuries old technique, I slice the jamón to preserve its qualities, and enhance its taste and aroma. The freshly cut slices will melt in mouth, delighting your taste buds. When is properly sliced by hand, each part of the leg must be cut in its own unique way. Only by respecting this tradition can you taste the four district flavors that each part of the jamón will offer: maza (marbled), babilla/contramaza (drier), jarrete/codillo (slightly sweet) and punta (the saltier slower part). Watching an expert maestro jamonero carve a jamón is a beautiful and unique performance
