SPANISH AND ITALIAN SIT AT THE TABLE

Spanish recipes share exquisite similarities with their Italian counterparts, creating a culinary

bond that transcends borders. Dishes like Spanish paella and Italian risotto, both based on rice, are examples of the rich shared gastronomic heritage.

Paella, with its vibrant flavors and varied ingredients, resembles risotto in the meticulous attention it requires to achieve the perfect texture. Similarly, the Spanish concept of tapas has parallels with the Italian tradition of antipasti, offering small portions of delights to share.

Spanish cured meats, such as chorizo, find echoes in Italian salamis. These similarities not only reflect geographical proximity but also the shared passion for good food, turning the table into a cultural bridge uniting two of the world's most appreciated cuisines.
