When does autumn begin?: seasonal products
We are getting closer to the start of autumn on the 24th and leaving summer and holidays behind. The time has come when we need to cover ourselves with a blanket when we are relaxing on the sofa, take out our jumpers and start drinking hot coffee for breakfast.
In a few days we will see how the leaves start to fall from the trees and the day is getting shorter and shorter and the night is gaining more hours of presence. This is one of our favourite seasons, everything is dyed in orange and brown tones and we crave more hot food dishes.
During this season, the markets are filled with fresh and nutrient-rich products, which make this season one of the favourites for lovers of good food.
Do you want to know which products signal that autumn has started? We show you some of the seasonal products.
The autumn truffle
The autumn seasonal truffle is one of the most coveted ingredients in haute cuisine. This underground fungus, scientifically known as Tuber Uncinatum, is characterized by having an intense aroma and earthy flavor, especially intended for the preparation of gourmet dishes. Truffles grow in symbiosis with the roots of certain trees, such as holm oaks and oaks, and are collected with the help of trained dogs, which increases their value and exclusivity.
This truffle has a softer and sweeter flavor compared to its relative, the black winter truffle, making it perfect for autumn dishes. It can be sliced on pasta, risottos, eggs or even used in flavored oils and butters.
These truffles are collected in Sarrión, in the province of Teruel, which is characterized by having a soil with perfect properties for its cultivation, as well as a great tradition in truffle farming.
Sturgeon caviar
Seasonal sturgeon caviar is another luxury product that reaches its maximum ripeness in autumn.
Our caviar, made from sturgeon roe, also comes from Sarrión, where the sturgeon enjoys a high quality of life swimming in spring waters, providing the caviar with a multitude of mineral salts. Although it can be enjoyed throughout the year, it is in the autumn months when caviar reaches its best quality due to the optimal water conditions and the diet of the fish.
Autumn caviar usually has a more pronounced flavour and a firmer texture, making it the perfect complement to canapés, blinis and seafood dishes. In addition, its high content of protein, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A and D make it a very interesting option for our diet.
Preserve vegetables
We have a multitude of canned vegetables, ideal for starting the autumn season and eating something hot that doesn't require too much effort to prepare during the week. A practical format that allows us to have the vegetables ready to eat at any time and place, as well as preserving all the juiciness of freshly cooked vegetables.
Our jars of leeks, escalivada artichokes or roasted peppers are great for adding that extra vegetable to our daily life without effort.
These vegetables are the kings of autumn cooking. With their sweet flavour and creamy texture, they are perfect for preparing purees, soups or eating them straight out of the packaging. In addition, they are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants and fibre.
Mushrooms and fungi in all formats
Mushroom season is a characteristic of autumn, taking advantage of the opportunity to go for a walk in the mountains and get several mushrooms for our kitchen is a perfect plan for this time of year, however, if you don't have time or a mountain near your area, we have the solution.
We can deliver to your home varieties such as boletus, chanterelles and boletus or rebollones, which are common at this time and add earthy and umami flavours to dishes. They are ideal for soups, stews and stir-fries and even for pasta sauces and risottos.
In addition, dehydrated mushrooms are the perfect option to enjoy mushrooms despite their season having ended, having been dehydrated they concentrate all their flavour which makes them the ideal ingredient for gourmet cooking.
Do you dare to try them and enjoy the autumn flavours on your table?
