Gastronomía Castellón

The rich gastronomy from the Alt Maestrat is based on products that are obtained from the fields, livestock and hunting. Its cookery is rural and it includes dishes such as lamb, rabbit with snails or the typical Olla del Maestrat. Cold meat and different types of best quality cheese are also outstanding. The best raw material, which is used to elaborate artisanal turrón and delicious pastries, is obtained from the hazels and almond trees. The olive oil, the curd, the cottage cheese, the honey and the mushrooms are only some of the gastronomic treasures that this land offers. Waters with recognised mineral and medicinal properties low from its many sources. Moreover, the region is specially privileged for the truffle proliferation, both the winter and the summer truffle. Its altitude, climatology and land composition turn the area into one of the biggest and best world producers of the black diamond of the gastronomy.
