Mevalco – the home of fine Spanish foods – has unveiled an exceptional trio of new products that celebrate the very best of Spain’s culinary heritage.
Perfect for chefs seeking fresh inspiration for Summer and Autumn menus, the additions showcase the artistry and authenticity for which Mevalco has become renowned.
Carabineros Prawns:
The legendary Carabineros Prawns – the scarlet jewels of Spain’s deep seas. Famed for their striking red colour, unrivalled sweetness and intensely flavoured heads, these majestic prawns are a true delicacy. Wild-caught at great depths and highly prized by chefs across the world, Carabineros are best enjoyed with simple preparation – lightly grilled or pan-fried to let their natural flavour shine.
Available in a range of formats, these wonderful prawns are sourced in partnership with the renowned Congelados Basilio – experts in harvesting sustainable seafoods.
Iberico Tapilla:
Newly available from the Mevalco team is Iberico Tapilla – a beautifully marbled, tender cut of meat from the revered Iberico pig. Naturally rich and buttery, Tapilla is a versatile cut that comes from the top part of the rump or ‘cap of the collar.
The meat is highly prized for this excellent marbling that delivers outstanding results whether seared, grilled, or cooked sous-vide. The high level of intramuscular fat contributes to its deep flavour and succulence and the fat caramelises when cooked at high temperatures, creating a delicious crispy finish, whilst keeping the centre tender.
Iberico Tapilla epitomises the craft of Spain’s traditional farming and butchery.
Manchego Basque-Style Cheesecake:
Adding a sweet touch to the line-up is the Manchego Basque-Style Cheesecake, a bold reimagining of Spain’s most iconic dessert. Made with authentic Manchego sheep’s milk cheese, this burnt Basque cheesecake combines a caramelised, almost blackened crust with an irresistibly smooth, custard-like centre. Rich, nutty, and gently sweet, it offers chefs a stunningly simple way to finish a menu with flair.
David Menéndez, Managing Director of Mevalco, comments:“At Mevalco we have always championed the spirit and soul of Spanish food — honest ingredients, lovingly produced and full of flavour. With these new products, we want to give chefs the tools to create unforgettable dishes that capture the magic of Spain.
