The local larder

What people eat in Extremadura when they eat well.

Jamón ibérico de bellota

From pigs raised in the dehesa pastures; the Extremaduran larder starts here.

Torta del Casar

Creamy sheep's cheese eaten with a spoon, with the rind as a lid.

Migas extremeñas

Bread, paprika and pork crackling: a shepherds' breakfast that is now a Sunday dish.

Pimentón de la Vera

Smoked over holm-oak wood; it gives colour and soul to half of Spanish cooking.

Markets and local produce

Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.

We haven't confirmed El Gordo's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
