Jajaja me tambien, excepto para los carnes. Yo soy pescetarian, no como algunas carne como la carne de vaca y lamb. Y el problema es, I cannot see raw meat cut off. So I just skip the part when Luis cut off the meat. T_T But the rest of foods seem so delicious.
Love the markets in Spain... their products are really high quality... besides the delicious jamon & cheeses....the fruits they sell are really sweet & have wide variety of spices and chillies ....I really miss spain
I just discovered your videos. I miss spain so much. I'd say it's my favourite country. Why must Australia be so far away? Thank you for reminding me how beautiful Spain is.
Spent a year living in Spain improving my Spanish and watching your videos has brought back great memories! Great videos and I'm now craving some jamón, queso manchego and Ribera del Duero! Hope you do more videos! ¡Saludos desde escocia!
I feel Spanish is the best! The food is so flavoursome! One of the highlights, for me, during my holidays in Spain is going to the markets... I really think your Devour Tours videos are the best English language videos on Spanish food and culture; I've seen many (a lot of American) videos and non compare to the quality your producing. There - said it. A
Un consejo. Depende de cómo lo digas, ponme unas peras para hoy podría considerarse como que estás metiendo prisa al frutero y se lo podría tomar mal. Te recomiendo decir siempre la parte ``que estén listas para hoy o que estén para comer ya´´ para evitar posibles malentendidos. Me encanta tu canal y el entusiasmo que le pones a nuestra cultura. Admirable
If you go to spain you must try the fruit and vegetables. When we go abroad Spanish people miss two things ham and vegetables, that's how good and important they are for us. My brother just came from Ireland and God, he missed our food.
I remember going with my mom to Prosperidad market when I was little and it was amazing. After, at the 90's, the big supermarkets came and lots of tradicionals markets dissppeared. Now some of the tradicionals markets are coming back and it is fastastic, the quality is better. I discovered your Chanel yesterday and it is very cool. By the way, the Spanish olive oil is much better than the italian one...sometimes, the italian olive oil is mixed with oil from Morocco, with has no the proper sanitary controls. I wish we export more olive oil to the rest of the world, it is really good. Besitos desde los Madriles
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you discovered the channel! And yes, Spanish oil is amazing, and we are doing better at selling internationally bit by bit.
Como dato, Spain is a giant in the olive oil world. The country produces almost half of the world’s olive oil, more than three times as much as Italy, Greece or Tunisia. Over 250 million olive trees grow in Spain. Jaen is the largest producer of Olive Oil in Spain and also world-wide. Just the province of Jaen produces more than the second largest producer country, Italy. Me encantan tus videos, la informacion justa y precisa, muy bien explicado sin sobrecargar, se nota que lo disfrutas ^_^
I like watching your adventures in Spain but I really appreciate you guys adding the day to day vocabulary while you support the small, local businesses
Tus vídeos son muy buenos, gracias por enseñar lo bueno de España a la gente de otros países mereces muchos más suscriptores se nota que te encanta lo que haces
Hello! I´m an English teacher from Jaén and I feel so proud of having my birthplace mentioned in your videos. I stumbled upon your videos a couple of days ago and I´m mesmerized with the amount of dedication put into these. They are extremely well explained, no wonder they have so many views! They will surely be quite explanatory for many English speakers and you say so many interesting details about everything. I´m glad my country has such a nice ambassador/cicerone in you. I will definitely show your videos to my students. Congratulations and keep up with the good job! Greetings from Jaén
Love your enthusiasm😊I have been living in Spain for over 3 years now. I have been learning to eat and enjoy all kinds of new foods and am still finding out new things. You are so right about going to the city markets and meeting people who are passionate about food and drink.😊
As a Spaniard living abroad for the last ten years, I enjoy watching your videos big time! You do know your stuff very well. Enhorabuena por el vídeo y por el canal, me encanta
Great traditional market tips for a British Londoner such as myself intending to move to Spain. In London we are used to having to choose our own fruits and veg.
I like your videos. I recently befriended a few Spaniards and have slowly become fascinated with their culture and habits (pretty similar to mine). Can’t wait to visit Sevilla in May.
I am so glad I subscribed! You are great! I’m going to Madrid in one month and you made it easy for me to want to stray off the beaten path:D Thank you a million!
In Andalucía we usually ask ¿Quien es la última? (or el último if there are males involved) At the butchers you didn't mention rabbits (conejos) which are always sold with the head still attached. Why? - because without the head, you would find it very difficult to know that it wasn't a cat - they look almost identical once the fur has been removed. How do you tell the difference - a rabbit is a rodent and a cat is a carnivore - look at the teeth!
FENOMENAL!!!Se nota que te trabajas muy bien los vídeos y que te conoces la gastronomía de España y le pones pasión a los productos que presentas,tendrían que haber más como tú ofreciendo los productos de este pais.
Every video that you guys make are perfect, well explained and so nice that makes you feel that you actually want to be there, i am from Argentina and THIS reminds me about my country, I want to go there to see it and feel it for myself, Thank you!
After seeing this video I rushed out and bought boquerones and potato chips fried in olive oil. As James points out, this combination is absolutely incredible! Thank you James for the tip!

Even in Australia, chicken was a luxury protein, as lamb was common in our diet in the 70's. You pay a fortune for lamb shanks and lamb cutlets now. We would have, roast pork, ham and the winner was chicken on Christmas day. I know, hot roast on a humid Christmas day.
El queso azul era probablemente de Asturias, que es donde está el parque nacional de los picos de Europa. Si quieres probar uno muy bueno el gamoneu es caro pero increíble.
El queso era queso azul de valdeón (León). Los picos de europa estan también en Leon y en Cantabria. Y tienes varios quesos azules DOP o IGP: Asturias(cabrales y gamoneu), León ( queso de valdeón) y cantabria (queso Picón bejes-tresviso). Tambien decir que asturias es la región de España con mas DOP/IGP de quesos ( tiene 4 DOP: los dos anteriores, el casín, afuega el pitu, y un IGP queso los beyos, compartido con León)

3rd day in Spain. After a morning exploring the Prado museum, we're see off to find a flamenco academy my wife wants to check out. Wouldn't you know it, ITS IN MERCADO ANTON MARTIN! So here I am sitting at Latazo having a vermut de grifa, writing yet another post about one of your videos James. I even took a pic of Polleria Hernandez (closed today) just outside. We are going to end up running into each other. The market is much more than I expected, much larger, actually 3 floors. I count at least 5 butcher shops, a dozen little shop/bars, not to mention the flamenco academy at the top. Wonderful market.....now I have to find the olive guy....
18:00 I live in (and am from) Gran Canaria, and, except for the occasional buy of _pan de puño_ (literally _fist bread_ which is rolled 100% by hand and made the slow way, with mother dough) I shifted to roll and bake my own bread. About the same price I woud pay for a frozen _barra_ but way better (and it goes fresh for some days). We've got a place here which's been using the same mother dough for over a century, but it's quite far from home so... home made bread it is for me. It's great traditional bakeries are starting to open again!
I hate bullfighting, I think it's brutal! Apart from that, I do believe Spain to be one of the best places to live. I happen to have Galician, Andalusian, French, Lebanese and Sicilian ancestry. I was born in Argentina and have been an Italian Citizen since I can remember so Europe is second nature for me, loving it so much, food, music, people, fashion, cinema, arts, design, castles, history, sports, so much to learn from, thank you Europe, Vive l'Europe!
@@webtonio1 No es así... el KKK es una organización ilegal, que operaba en algunos estados del sur de EEUU, persiguiendo a negros, católicos judíos, etc. Pero el KKK no es una característica cultural de los Estados Unidos de América, ese país es conocido por la estatua de la Libertad, el Empire State Building, el Golden Gate, Hollywood, el Gran Cañon, Miami Beach, íconos de la música popular (Elvis, Michael Jackson, Madonna), ídolos del cine y la industrial cultural - Friends, Seinfeld, montones de sitcoms y películas de todo tipo, Disney Pixar- en eventos deportivos se lo relaciona con el béisbol, baloncesto, fútbol americano, hockey sobre hielo; su gastronomía como la fast food, la barbecue, etc. etc. En España las corridas de toros son un evento cultural-deportivo, que se centra en matar cruelmente (y con asistencia de personas que sedan al toro para que el matador tenga una chance) a un animal, frente a un público que vitorea. La comparación con el KKK es la ETA, que vosotros también habéis tenido vuestra cuota de salvajadas y terrorismo, debo mencionar a Franco y las guerrillas? Vamos españoles, que no son tan castos y puros como la nieve, más bien todo lo contrario... debería mencionar la Inquisición y el genocidio indígena? Pensándolo bien, no me extraña la fascinación con la sangrienta tauromaquia, viniendo de vosotros...
@@leonelsancheztrapani2838 Es que los toros no es una característica cultural de España. Está prohibido en muchos sitios y si se ha mantenido a lo largo de los años ha sido gracias al turista que lo queria ver. Todo lo demas es demagogia de la buena. La inquisición en España fué minima, unas 300 victimas. En inglaterra fueron unas 300000. Que como lo sé? por que todo está escrito y contabilizado con documentos de la época. El genocidio la gran leyenda negra difundida por los ingleses para exculpar el genocidio que ellos SI hicieron. En America del sur el 80% es indigena, en EEUU 0,005%. Compara. mi consejo es que te leas buenos libros de historia amigo, vas muy perdido en casi todo. hollywood es casi todo gente europea, sobretodo detras de las camaras, guionistas, fotografos, directores. Mencionar al dictador como si alguien lo hubiera escogido es directamente de idiotas. podría citarte las guerras exportadas por EEUU, expandiendo su mierda por todo el mundo. Corea, Vietnan, Golfo, Irak, Panama, Ecuador...la lista de paises agredidos es muuuy larga. Creo que ya me entiendes no?. tu ultima frase es absolutamente digna de un borderline. Trump 2020!!
@@volareohoh2413 Creo que de idiotas es todo lo que tú dices, adjudicando la popularidad de los toros a los turistas. Hablas del generalísimo como si no hubiese sido aceptado por tanta gente y sus graves atrocidades quedaron sin juzgar. Claro, es mucho más fácil culpar a Hollywood?!!! qué absurdos sois españoletes, aquí les decimos brutos! y no erramos.
@@JohnZaabi Franco fue un genocida, y comparar a los toros con el Kkk es un error, pues es cierto que han formado parte de la cultura española durante siglos. Pero es cierto que hay una leyenda negra que no se corresponde con la realidad, sólo hay que comparar la población indígena que queda en Sudamérica y en EEUU para verlo. Entre las potencias colonizadoras, que por supuesto abusaron de los pueblos conquistados, España no fue en ningún caso de las peores. Los números nos lo muestran claramente
Que bien lo expresas todo, además me has dado traducciones interesantes que no conocía...que cosas puedes traducir y que cosas tienes que explicar. Mejora mi inglés. Gracias
Wow what a brilliant, interesting and informative video.... can't wait to show my kids and hubby too.. they will love it !! We discovered the simple tapa this year of a bowl of potato chips with olives and black pepper....but have to try the crisps+boquerones/mequiloñes now too!...James y Yoly muchísimas gracias...más por favor !!!
So far, I have avidly watched a number of your excellent videos and you have talked about Spanish wine, beer, gin, vermouth etc. but never about the 3 or 4 amazing caramel-tasting brandies such as Carlos 1, Gran Duque D'Alba, Torres 10 Year, or Cardinal Mendoza...the taste is unique to Spain and they normally pour you a huge measure!
Wonderful - really helps you understand what seems so mysterious - then you can appreciate & enjoy the traditional culinary wonders of regional Spain. Gracias! 🎅🙏🐾🦘👍
Thank you again for a great video sorry I'm a little behind in time about watching this still it's a wonderful and informative video and the way that you appreciate and love that country 👍
When I was living in Madrid, nearly 40 years ago, my favorite cheese was Manchego en aceite. I remember it as having a sharper taste than regular Manchego. I’ve looked but have never found it at any cheese shop in the U.S. I wonder if you can fill me in on the difference between the regular and “en aceite” varieties. I have found that longer-aged Manchego has a sharper taste than shorter-aged, but I seem to remember the aceite version being more so. Does it still exist in Spain?
Great questions Jerry. More cured manchego certainly does have more flavor. The “en aceite” comes from the fact that olive oil is a preservative and so was the traditional way to preserve the cheese (and lots of other foods) pre refrigeration. The technique has remained because it also gives a wonderful flavor to the cheese. You can still find it easily in Spain. That’s a shame you can’t get it in the USA. Have you tried latienda.com?
@@spainrevealed Thank you for that link, James. Unfortunately, I don't see any Manchego en aceite at latienda. However, you inspired me to do a google search. I didn't find any purveyors in the U.S. (elsewhere, yes), but I did find DIY instructions. It never occurred to me I could to it myself! This is going on my to-do list right now. Can't wait to see if I can reproduce that wonderful flavor. lasrecetasdelmarquesdemuchabarba.blogspot.com/2015/05/queso-manchego-en-aceite.html Here's a video I just found: ruclips.net/video/sTB6kiKMq1w/видео.html btw - after watching one of your videos that highlighted those amazing Napolitanas de Crema at La Mallorquina in Madrid, I found this recipe online. When my Manchego en Aceite is ready to eat I'll plan to make a Spanish meal and some of these to end with. It'll be a trip to my past... cocina-casera.com/napolitanas-de-crema/ Thanks for all your wonderful videos, James. What a great job you do.
These DIY cheese are a different thing, it's only preserved in olive oil. The cheese that you remember is a cheese aged in olive oil. Like this: valledearas.com/de/comprar-queso/queso-de-oveja-madurado-en-aceite-romero-ocana This store deliver to all European Union. Maybe they can send you to the US. Send a email and ask them.
jerrys88 let me give you the name of a world class cheese "en aceite" you can find in the US: "Páramo de Guzmán" from Burgos, Spain. If you can't find it I'll send you one. I lived in the US for sixteen years and I love your country.
@@franbas91 Thank you for the information. I will email them. In the meantime, I am curious to know, do you have personal experience preserving cheese in olive oil? From what I have read, it sounds like it doesn't just preserve but also affects the taste. Isn't that what manchego en aceite is, after all?
It’s been years since I visited the land of my grandfathers (both maternal and paternal- as well as my husband’s family.) It is such a pleasure to revisit through this vlog... and it fascinates me what a mastery you have of the language...oh my (!!) I am craving boquerones, jamones and angulas. Thanks for your vlog...I am going to be a loyal subscriber! Salud! 🍷
hi mate. You should try the mollejas de ternera (de corazon) (sweetbreads) en el mercado Anton Martin (creo que el stand es la Sagrada y son argentinos). You have mollejas de garganta o de corazon and the heart one is the best with a bit more fat, melts in your mouth (venden de corazon). Dejas remojar en agua y cambias el agua una vez y despues lo hierves unos cinco minutos. Le sacas un poco de la grasa que sobra y tenes dos soluciones: la mejor es a la parilla y cuando lista, le agregas un poco de sal semi gruesa y limon (perejil si queres). Otra opcion, si no tenes parilla, doras la molleja entera (en aceite y mantequilla), then you slice it and give it a quick go with garling, parsley and more butter. Take out and enjoy with a bit of lemon. The best! Price for something so exquisite is only 9€/500g. In French cuisine ,"Le ris de veau" is considered as haute cuisine and often cooked with sauces, like madera sauce but to me the Argentine way, a la parilla, is the best.. Una delicia!
So cool I love this... very well done. Love your candor and fun with the chefs from around the world. I loved how you focused on the story behind each tapa which as you said really says so much about the place they are from and how it is now reflected in food. Truly interesting and deserves further exploration by someone... You're a very lucky man doing it now .. and in Spain! Looking forward to the next episodes! ... Vamos! (perhaps meet you in Spain this year)
My neighbourhood. I'm going to visit this weekend! Also, thanks for letting me know about Moega. I used to live in Galicia and the bread up there is simply sensational.
Your vids are amazing and so informative! I love your enthusiasm for Spain, it's culture and the wonderful food. For us newbies to Spain, the videos are essential viewing! Am working through them all and please keep them coming, you are both so engaging. 😎😍
Great video. Thank you. Please do more on the unwritten rules of places (like not touching fruit, Quién da la vez?, etc.). Great for anyone planning to visit or live in Spain.
The only problem I have with your videos is that I always feel hungry afterwards
jejeje, sorry I can't help with that! Well, you could come to Spain!
Any well done video on Spanish food will result on that, generally we eat great here!
Jajaja me tambien, excepto para los carnes. Yo soy pescetarian, no como algunas carne como la carne de vaca y lamb. Y el problema es, I cannot see raw meat cut off. So I just skip the part when Luis cut off the meat. T_T

3rd day in Spain. After a morning exploring the Prado museum, we're see off to find a flamenco academy my wife wants to check out. Wouldn't you know it, ITS IN MERCADO ANTON MARTIN! So here I am sitting at Latazo having a vermut de grifa, writing yet another post about one of your videos James. I even took a pic of Polleria Hernandez (closed today) just outside. We are going to end up running into each other.
The market is much more than I expected, much larger, actually 3 floors. I count at least 5 butcher shops, a dozen little shop/bars, not to mention the flamenco academy at the top. Wonderful market.....now I have to find the olive guy....
Just met the butcher at your shop...
Great message Jose - sounds like you're having a hell of a great time in Madrid! Might see you around!
Just love your videos in Madrid 😍👍
I love bernini's sculpture of felipe iv.
18:00 I live in (and am from) Gran Canaria, and, except for the occasional buy of _pan de puño_ (literally _fist bread_ which is rolled 100% by hand and made the slow way, with mother dough) I shifted to roll and bake my own bread. About the same price I woud pay for a frozen _barra_ but way better (and it goes fresh for some days). We've got a place here which's been using the same mother dough for over a century, but it's quite far from home so... home made bread it is for me. It's great traditional bakeries are starting to open again!
I hate bullfighting, I think it's brutal! Apart from that, I do believe Spain to be one of the best places to live. I happen to have Galician, Andalusian, French, Lebanese and Sicilian ancestry. I was born in Argentina and have been an Italian Citizen since I can remember so Europe is second nature for me, loving it so much, food, music, people, fashion, cinema, arts, design, castles, history, sports, so much to learn from, thank you Europe, Vive l'Europe!
Relacionar España con los toros es como relacionar EEUU con el ku klux klan esta ahí pero cada vez gusta menos
@@webtonio1 No es así... el KKK es una organización ilegal, que operaba en algunos estados del sur de EEUU, persiguiendo a negros, católicos judíos, etc. Pero el KKK no es una característica cultural de los Estados Unidos de América, ese país es conocido por la estatua de la Libertad, el Empire State Building, el Golden Gate, Hollywood, el Gran Cañon, Miami Beach, íconos de la música popular (Elvis, Michael Jackson, Madonna), ídolos del cine y la industrial cultural - Friends, Seinfeld, montones de sitcoms y películas de todo tipo, Disney Pixar- en eventos deportivos se lo relaciona con el béisbol, baloncesto, fútbol americano, hockey sobre hielo; su gastronomía como la fast food, la barbecue, etc. etc. En España las corridas de toros son un evento cultural-deportivo, que se centra en matar cruelmente (y con asistencia de personas que sedan al toro para que el matador tenga una chance) a un animal, frente a un público que vitorea. La comparación con el KKK es la ETA, que vosotros también habéis tenido vuestra cuota de salvajadas y terrorismo, debo mencionar a Franco y las guerrillas? Vamos españoles, que no son tan castos y puros como la nieve, más bien todo lo contrario... debería mencionar la Inquisición y el genocidio indígena? Pensándolo bien, no me extraña la fascinación con la sangrienta tauromaquia, viniendo de vosotros...
@@leonelsancheztrapani2838 Es que los toros no es una característica cultural de España. Está prohibido en muchos sitios y si se ha mantenido a lo largo de los años ha sido gracias al turista que lo queria ver. Todo lo demas es demagogia de la buena. La inquisición en España fué minima, unas 300 victimas. En inglaterra fueron unas 300000. Que como lo sé? por que todo está escrito y contabilizado con documentos de la época. El genocidio la gran leyenda negra difundida por los ingleses para exculpar el genocidio que ellos SI hicieron. En America del sur el 80% es indigena, en EEUU 0,005%. Compara. mi consejo es que te leas buenos libros de historia amigo, vas muy perdido en casi todo. hollywood es casi todo gente europea, sobretodo detras de las camaras, guionistas, fotografos, directores. Mencionar al dictador como si alguien lo hubiera escogido es directamente de idiotas. podría citarte las guerras exportadas por EEUU, expandiendo su mierda por todo el mundo. Corea, Vietnan, Golfo, Irak, Panama, Ecuador...la lista de paises agredidos es muuuy larga. Creo que ya me entiendes no?. tu ultima frase es absolutamente digna de un borderline. Trump 2020!!
@@volareohoh2413 Creo que de idiotas es todo lo que tú dices, adjudicando la popularidad de los toros a los turistas. Hablas del generalísimo como si no hubiese sido aceptado por tanta gente y sus graves atrocidades quedaron sin juzgar. Claro, es mucho más fácil culpar a Hollywood?!!! qué absurdos sois españoletes, aquí les decimos brutos! y no erramos.
@@JohnZaabi Franco fue un genocida, y comparar a los toros con el Kkk es un error, pues es cierto que han formado parte de la cultura española durante siglos. Pero es cierto que hay una leyenda negra que no se corresponde con la realidad, sólo hay que comparar la población indígena que queda en Sudamérica y en EEUU para verlo. Entre las potencias colonizadoras, que por supuesto abusaron de los pueblos conquistados, España no fue en ningún caso de las peores. Los números nos lo muestran claramente
Brilliant channel. Thank you so much.
Que bien lo expresas todo, además me has dado traducciones interesantes que no conocía...que cosas puedes traducir y que cosas tienes que explicar. Mejora mi inglés. Gracias
Como por ejemplo vinegar anchovi. No volveré a decir boquerons in vinegar.
Excellent videos. Well done! I love Spain. Your accent is excellent, too.
Thank you Julie!!!!
This really helped us in our trip to Spain
Fantastic - have fun!
Que delicia todo! Great job👏👏👏
Wow what a brilliant, interesting and informative video.... can't wait to show my kids and hubby too.. they will love it !! We discovered the simple tapa this year of a bowl of potato chips with olives and black pepper....but have to try the crisps+boquerones/mequiloñes now too!...James y Yoly muchísimas gracias...más por favor !!!
Gracias for your support as always! More videos coming soon :)
Another INFORMATIVE & GREAT VIDIO !!!... THANKS !!!
Gracias Edward!
Nobody does it better!
So far, I have avidly watched a number of your excellent videos and you have talked about Spanish wine, beer, gin, vermouth etc. but never about the 3 or 4 amazing caramel-tasting brandies such as Carlos 1, Gran Duque D'Alba, Torres 10 Year, or Cardinal Mendoza...the taste is unique to Spain and they normally pour you a huge measure!
Gracias por fomentar el slowfood.
Wonderful - really helps you understand what seems so mysterious - then you can appreciate & enjoy the traditional culinary wonders of regional Spain. Gracias! 🎅🙏🐾🦘👍
Those breads from Manuel looked UNREAL, yum!!
Qué bien hablas español. Menudo acento
Gracias Luis!
my english is "macarronico" but you have to insists in this channel. I love it. I am subscribe.
Welcome Toni!
Thank you again for a great video sorry I'm a little behind in time about watching this still it's a wonderful and informative video and the way that you appreciate and love that country 👍
Great video, can't wait to get back to Madrid in February. 7th time and I love it
You are the best, man.
Why thank you! shucks!
I love your videos guys, your enthusiasm for food is wonderful y el manejo de la cámara muy steady 👍🏼😎 keep it up , I love your channel
When I was living in Madrid, nearly 40 years ago, my favorite cheese was Manchego en aceite. I remember it as having a sharper taste than regular Manchego. I’ve looked but have never found it at any cheese shop in the U.S. I wonder if you can fill me in on the difference between the regular and “en aceite” varieties. I have found that longer-aged Manchego has a sharper taste than shorter-aged, but I seem to remember the aceite version being more so. Does it still exist in Spain?
Great questions Jerry. More cured manchego certainly does have more flavor. The “en aceite” comes from the fact that olive oil is a preservative and so was the traditional way to preserve the cheese (and lots of other foods) pre refrigeration. The technique has remained because it also gives a wonderful flavor to the cheese. You can still find it easily in Spain. That’s a shame you can’t get it in the USA. Have you tried latienda.com?
@@spainrevealed Thank you for that link, James. Unfortunately, I don't see any Manchego en aceite at latienda. However, you inspired me to do a google search. I didn't find any purveyors in the U.S. (elsewhere, yes), but I did find DIY instructions. It never occurred to me I could to it myself! This is going on my to-do list right now. Can't wait to see if I can reproduce that wonderful flavor.

Here's a video I just found:
ruclips.net/video/sTB6kiKMq1w/видео.html
btw - after watching one of your videos that highlighted those amazing Napolitanas de Crema at La Mallorquina in Madrid, I found this recipe online. When my Manchego en Aceite is ready to eat I'll plan to make a Spanish meal and some of these to end with. It'll be a trip to my past...

Thanks for all your wonderful videos, James. What a great job you do.
These DIY cheese are a different thing, it's only preserved in olive oil. The cheese that you remember is a cheese aged in olive oil. Like this: valledearas.com/de/comprar-queso/queso-de-oveja-madurado-en-aceite-romero-ocana
This store deliver to all European Union. Maybe they can send you to the US. Send a email and ask them.
jerrys88 let me give you the name of a world class cheese "en aceite" you can find in the US: "Páramo de Guzmán" from Burgos, Spain. If you can't find it I'll send you one. I lived in the US for sixteen years and I love your country.
@@franbas91 Thank you for the information. I will email them. In the meantime, I am curious to know, do you have personal experience preserving cheese in olive oil? From what I have read, it sounds like it doesn't just preserve but also affects the taste. Isn't that what manchego en aceite is, after all?
It’s been years since I visited the land of my grandfathers (both maternal and paternal- as well as my husband’s family.) It is such a pleasure to revisit through this vlog... and it fascinates me what a mastery you have of the language...oh my (!!) I am craving boquerones, jamones and angulas. Thanks for your vlog...I am going to be a loyal subscriber! Salud! 🍷
hi mate. You should try the mollejas de ternera (de corazon) (sweetbreads) en el mercado Anton Martin (creo que el stand es la Sagrada y son argentinos). You have mollejas de garganta o de corazon and the heart one is the best with a bit more fat, melts in your mouth (venden de corazon). Dejas remojar en agua y cambias el agua una vez y despues lo hierves unos cinco minutos. Le sacas un poco de la grasa que sobra y tenes dos soluciones: la mejor es a la parilla y cuando lista, le agregas un poco de sal semi gruesa y limon (perejil si queres). Otra opcion, si no tenes parilla, doras la molleja entera (en aceite y mantequilla), then you slice it and give it a quick go with garling, parsley and more butter. Take out and enjoy with a bit of lemon. The best! Price for something so exquisite is only 9€/500g. In French cuisine ,"Le ris de veau" is considered as haute cuisine and often cooked with sauces, like madera sauce but to me the Argentine way, a la parilla, is the best.. Una delicia!
So cool I love this... very well done. Love your candor and fun with the chefs from around the world. I loved how you focused on the story behind each tapa which as you said really says so much about the place they are from and how it is now reflected in food. Truly interesting and deserves further exploration by someone... You're a very lucky man doing it now .. and in Spain! Looking forward to the next episodes! ... Vamos! (perhaps meet you in Spain this year)
thanks for the info! Will definitely check it out and your food tour when I visit this coming March
Fantastic- we look forward to having you here@
My neighbourhood. I'm going to visit this weekend! Also, thanks for letting me know about Moega. I used to live in Galicia and the bread up there is simply sensational.
Your vids are amazing and so informative! I love your enthusiasm for Spain, it's culture and the wonderful food. For us newbies to Spain, the videos are essential viewing! Am working through them all and please keep them coming, you are both so engaging. 😎😍
Great video. Thank you. Please do more on the unwritten rules of places (like not touching fruit, Quién da la vez?, etc.). Great for anyone planning to visit or live in Spain.
