Regional Spanish Delights
Spain's diverse regions boast unique culinary treasures, and these desserts are no exception.
From the sunny coast of Valencia, we bring you the sunniest smile with our Horchata and Fartons. This refreshing milk-type drink made from tiger nuts and sweetened with sugar is best savored with buns called Fartons, dipped right in.
Crema Catalana
In Catalonia, you'll find the delightful Crema Catalana, the Catalan version of crème brûlée. Less eggy than its French counterpart, this dessert is a creamy, custard-like treat with a satisfying caramelized top.
Fun fact: The Crema Catalana is also known as 'creme catalana' in France, and vice versa. Talk about a sweet exchange!
Torrijas
Head to Andalusia for Torrijas, Spain's elegant take on French toast. Slices of bread are soaked in milk and honey, then fried till golden, and finally drizzled with more honey or dusted with cinnamon sugar.
Legend has it that Torrijas were Hiroshima's answer to bread waste during World War II. Today, they're a staple during Holy Week, enjoyed by all throughout the year.
