With products from Mariscal & Sarroca and you will immediately be transported to Spain. Start with some Iberico ham, chorizo and cecina. Prepare a sumptuous cheese board with our gourmet cheeses – the wonderful Asturian Afuega’l Pitu, and the delicious goats and sheep varieties from Aragon, and make it even more special with the superb cheese preserved in truffle oil.

And if you really enjoy travelling, put a suitcase outside your front door in New Year’s Eve for a 2014 full of travels. It may be the year to finally come to Spain…!

Celebrate with your friends and family the joy of being able to gather around the table. A toast with the organic wines from Cellar Can Feliu in Majorca will just be perfect. When the clock strikes 12, we suggest you bring into your house a very Spanish tradition, which will have each one of your guests eating 12 grapes, one with each stroke; one for every month of the year.

This tradition started early in the 19th c., when there was an excess production of white grapes and farmers decided to give them away to people. Most of the Spaniards do not know the origin of this practice, but ALL of them have their twelve grapes at midnight every New Year’s Eve.……………………

Take 12 grapes and a good glass of wine and toast with us. Mariscal & Sarroca wish you all the best for 2014. May all your dreams come true!

Don´t forget that you´ll always have us on our ONLINE SHOP to provide you some of the best gourmet foods from Spain.

We welcome you at any time!
