Calçots

Cultural Context

Calçots, a type of green onion, originate from Catalonia, particularly celebrated in the town of Valls. Traditionally, they are grilled over an open flame and served with romesco sauce during the calçotada, a festive gathering that marks the end of winter. This culinary tradition not only highlights the local produce but also fosters community and celebration. Today, calçots are enjoyed throughout Spain and have gained popularity in various culinary circles worldwide.
