This amazing cooking oil is almost exclusively produced in Spain, so there is no better place to source for authentic extra virgin olive oil for all your culinary purposes than the Spanish capital city. Extra virgin olive oil can be used for a wide variety of cooking applications, from gently frying delicately rolled Tapas to frying the unique Iberian ham. Whatever food you want to add extra virgin olive oil to, this culinary miracle adds its immaculate flavor to your cooking to help give your food a unique, refined taste. You can buy reputable Extra virgin olive oil at the Patrimonio Communal Olivero located at Calle de Prim in Madrid. This specific store is the official olive oil store of the Spanish department of Agriculture, hence you can be assured of the premium quality of the extra virgin olive oil being sold here. Whether you are going to use your olive oil personally or gift it to a friend, you’ll be glad you made the amazing investment of purchasing your extra virgin olive oil in Madrid. If you prefer organic products, you can also find some excellent Spanish extra virgin olive oil online here.

Jamón Ibérico de Bellota

This is one of Madrid’s premium food items, and what makes premium Iberian ham, which is what Jamón Ibérico de Bellota means, such an amazing souvenir is that this tantalizing delicacy is almost exclusively found in Madrid. Premium Iberian ham is gotten from the rare black Iberian pig which has been raised in an extensive free-range system in the infamous oak forests of Spain. Black Iberian pigs used to make premium Iberian ham are fed an exclusive diet of nutty acorns and the ham is cured for up to 36 months before being released for sale. The extreme efforts put into making sure that premium Iberian ham remains truly premium is what makes it so rare and so valuable. Premium Iberian ham is not only a very tasty and delicious food item, it is also very healthy. Premium Iberian ham is extraordinarily delicious because of the immense efforts put into growing the pigs and curing the meat, but this outstanding meat is extremely healthy because of the presence of unsaturated fats on the meat.

Most meats are filled with saturated fats, which is why doctors tell aging people to watch their meat consumption since saturated fats are bad for the heart. Because of the presence of only unsaturated fats in Iberian ham, however, it is a precious and healthy food option, and a perfect souvenir that you or anyone would treasure. Undoubtedly Jamón Ibérico de Bellota will help you create unforgettable culinary experiences. Before buying your premium Iberian ham, however, be sure to check for import restrictions on the rare meat in your home country. In the United States, the importation of Iberian ham is prohibited. Also, don’t forget to store the ham under necessary conditions while travelling to prevent degradation.

You can purchase your authentic Jamón Ibérico de Bellota at reputable stores around Madrid. One good example is the Alma de Julián Becerro Shop located at Calle Cava Baja in Madrid. You can also buy your authentic premium Iberian ham at Calle del Leon in Madrid. There are also fabulous choices of Iberian hams which are also gluten-free online here
