Our typical foods

There are plenty of options to comment on in this section, we hope to satisfy the culinary tastes of all our readers.

Gofio is a mixture of toasted and ground cereals that is consumed in the form of flour. This food of great nutritional value is mixed with milk, stews, fruit and is found in very important dishes such as escaldón.
The banana is the fruit par excellence of the Canary Islands. This fruit is the main crop on the island of Tenerife and decorates the landscapes of the whole island, especially in the north of the island.
Tenerife's cheeses are also world-renowned. They are usually made from goat's milk and can be fresh or ripened. It is the perfect starter when you visit a guachinche and is served roasted and with some of the typical mojos.
Potatoes, the different fish from our coasts, our wine designations of origin or our honey complete a menu of sensational products.

Our traditional dishes

And with such incredible products as those mentioned above, it was very easy to create a recipe book full of magic and flavour.

Green mojo and red mojo, the former based on coriander and the latter on hot pepper or chilli, are the sauces of our islands. Many of the traditional foods are flavoured with these tasty preparations.
Canarian stew is similar to what is known as cocido in the rest of Spain. However, in our land, the vegetables used are slightly different from the traditional ones. Bubangos, beans, millet, sweet potato, pumpkin, beef or chicken are some of the most important ingredients.
Rabbit in salmorejo. Although its origin comes from the Aragonese region, it is in the Canary Islands where it is most famous. A dish full of flavour that a good Canarian grandmother prepares at home.
And to finish with something sweet, bienmesabe is a traditional dessert, made with almonds, sponge cake, egg, sugar and lemon. It is one of the many typical desserts of the island.
