Toledo’s gastronomy still preserves its ancient roots, influences of hunting and pasturing are felt in its cuisine.
Being one of the richest Spanish provinces in what concerns small and big game, Toledo’s gastronomy has, obviously, game meats, as well as great cheeses, revelling the ancient shepherd tradition in the region. But the vegetables play also a very important role in the gastronomy of Toledo because of their variety and quality.
As the city of the three cultures, Toledo combines also Moorish and Christian tastes in it cuisine, conferring a special identity to gastronomy.
Some delicious and “famous” dishes are, among others, roasted lamb, suckling pig, partridge and buttered cheese. In what concerns confectionery, Toledo marzipan, of Arab influence, is famous all over Spain. La Mancha and Valdepenas are the most famous wines in the region.
So go ahead, meet not only Toledo’s history, culture and architecture, but meet also its passionate gastronomy!
