Maresme strawberry: a little pleasure, pure passion

"Strawberries are what make Maresme", as we say in Catalonia, and this sweet treat rich in antioxidants has contributed to the gastronomic positioning of this Catalan region. Its intense red colour, fleshy texture and pleasant aroma make it an excellent choice for a sweet ice cream thanks to its touch of acidity.
As everyone knows, good things come in small packages!

Did you know...

Maresme strawberries quite literally dangle from the sloping landscape of the coastal mountain range, growing on tiny farms and harvested by hand. The most widely cultivated varieties are the 'gaviota' and the 'pájaro', which are famous for their quality. The Maresme is a region nestled between Barcelona and the Costa Brava, an area that boasts a wonderful mountainous landscape and an enviable coastline. One of its main attractions is its gastronomy based on vegetables and seafood, with highlights including local strawberries, peas, squid, DO Alella wine, and more. A whole selection based on quality products.
