Foods and Wines from Spain and Alimentos de España will be presenting a new trade event – Taste Spain Edinburgh – on Monday 20th May at The Balmoral Hotel.
The event, funded by the Spanish government, will be a showcase of Spanish gastronomy featuring artisan cheese, jamón-dry-cured ham, chorizo, olive oil, canned fish, beans, honey, apple paste and craft ciders.
Visitors will have the opportunity to meet producers, sample products, and learn about the diverse range of foods produced in the regions of Asturias, Andalusia, Castile and León, and Castilla-La Mancha.
All the companies involved are family owned and focused on each of their regional specialities.
The event also coincides with the Edinburgh edition of the ‘Wines from Spain’ Annual Tasting, which will feature two hundred Spanish wines at the same venue.
Food importers, wholesalers, specialist retailers, hospitality and catering buyers from across Scotland and the north of England are invited to register for the event here.
UK Director of Foods and Wines from Spain, Fernando Muñoz, said: “Last year we commissioned an in-depth market survey which found that there is a desire for seeing trade events outside of London. This insight has informed us when developing our promotional strategy for 2024.
“We are therefore delighted to be able to bring together a group of quality focused producers to the iconic Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh for the first time, creating a convenient platform for the Scottish trade to meet producers and experience the gastronomic diversity that Spain has to offer.”
