Navarra : discover authentic cuisine
Gastronomy
The Kingdom of Navarre is also the kingdom of gastronomy, popular cuisine, and rural and traditional dishes based on the region's delicious produce. These marvels range from vegetables (asparagus, lettuce, artichokes, the 'pimientos del piquillo', white beans), to meat (steak, 'chistorras' (a kind of sausage), sausages, tomato stuffing), mushrooms, and the famous 'ajoarriero' (a cod-based recipe). King Juan Carlos himself called the white asparagus of Navarre 'cojonudos'. Plus, visitors can't ignore the local restaurants, a great number of which have received Michelin stars! Rodero, Europa, Alhambra, Enekorri, Túbal, Maher, and el Beti-Jai de Aoitz are only some of the establishments (with or without stars, they're all great). For desert, there is a variety of tasty choices you mustn't miss out on, as well as a selection of cheeses, the 'canutillos', the 'natillas', and the Fried Milk Cake ('Leche Frita'). This culinary wealth and the talent of Navarre's chefs (a great many of whom are well known on the nouvelle cuisine scene) take on all their meaning with the delicious white, rosé, or red wines of the region, most of which enjoy a protected designation of origin (from Navarre and Rioja). The wines of Navarre are famous well beyond the Spanish borders. The two best known cellars are Chivite and Guelbenzu. Despite the fact that the region is not particularly well suited to growing apples, Navarre is also a place that serves delicious cider. The pacharán (prunelle spirit) from Navarre is the perfect drink after a delicious meal.
