Arbina restaurant will host three days (23rd, 24th and 25th November) dedicated to Castilla y León, when Gastronomy, Culture and History will blend in one. Javier López Arbina, born and raised in Valladolid, is the perfect ambassador of Castilla y León to do so. He knows well all the produce this land has to offer with over 60 products guaranteed by any quality designation, its traditions and places to visit within this historic region.
Castilla y León has indeed a rich gastronomic heritage, favoured by its extensive and varied recipe book, but also by the quality and diversity of its provisions. This is why Head Chef Enrique García though about making a deconstructed version of his most recognisable dish: Cocido, all made with Castilla y León produce. It will be offered during these three days to bring to your table the real taste of each ingredient from this fairy-tale like land also called «Tierra de castillos» (The Land of Castles).
Enrique García, Arbina´s Head Chef, will also explain what has inspired him to create this delicious set menu based in The land of Castles as Castilla y Léon is known. The specific products that give the flavour to the dish and why these are essential, such Morcilla de Burgos or Chorizo del Bierzo.
