Taste a bit of the Valleys
A unique gastronomy and a first quality product.
Pas gastronomy is not only a cultural value, but also a distinguishing mark for the Region. Its table feeds from traditional of this land products that go directly farm to table, like tasteful, great quality meat, river catch or ground fruit, grown in natural and healthy environments.
Abound resounding, spoon dishes, like the “cocido pasiego”, that makes the soup from bread, cabbage and chickpeas. Legumes play an important role in Pas gastronomy, especially the kidney bean, leading character of recipies such as “olla de carros” and “caricos estofados”.
Beef, kid or “lechazo” (unweaned lamb) first quality meat that grows in the Valleys’ pastures is the basis of some of the most traditional dishes. To name a few, “sobreasada” beef rib, Saint Blas kid, Saint Martin chicken or “guisao de romería”.
Milk, too, with its intense flavour that creates tasteful ice creams and other sweets, many of them unique and native from here, like “quesadas” and “sobaos”, food today made into nationally famous bites.
