New Year's Eve is, without a doubt, one of the most special evenings of the year. A time when the table takes on a leading role and each bite becomes an experience that is well worth welcoming with excitement the next 365 days. At Ibéricos Torreón we know this, and that is why we want to invite you to celebrate New Year's Eve with our Iberian products as authentic stars, bringing to your table the luxury and tradition of one of the greatest gastronomic treasures of our land.
The versatility of the Iberian product
When we think of Iberian products, the first image that usually comes to mind is that of a spectacular hand-cut Iberian ham, ready to be enjoyed in thin slices. But the truth is that these products have a versatility that adapts to all kinds of preparations, from simple appetizers to more elaborate recipes. Their refined character, unmistakable texture and balanced flavor make them perfect allies for other ingredients: cheeses, nuts, seasonal fruits and a wide variety of artisan breads.
Ideas for appetizers and dishes for New Year's Eve
- Iberian cold meat and artisan cheese boards: A classic that never fails. It presents a careful selection of Iberian ham, loin, salchichón and acorn-fed chorizo along with cured, semi-cured and creamy cheeses. Serve with nuts, dried figs and fresh grapes to round out the experience. In our blog you will find presentation tips and ideal pairings to create your own gourmet Iberian board .
- Toasts with Iberian ham and truffle oil: A simple but exquisite appetizer. Slices of 100% Iberian acorn-fed ham shine on a base of lightly toasted rustic bread and a delicate touch of truffle oil. This combination concentrates intense and elegant nuances in each bite, perfect for starting the celebration.
- Consommé with Iberian ham bone: This delicacy should not be missing from your New Year's Eve table. A proposal that comforts and provides the intensity of Iberian ham. You can find our suggestion for this recipe on our website , where we recommend how to prepare it step by step and give it a different touch for such a special day.
- Iberian ham croquettes or Iberian fan flamenquín, Iberian ham and Camembert with piquillo mayonnaise : Two different but similar ideas that are perfect for any party. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside and with the unmistakable flavour of Iberian ham.
- Iberian sirloin with pineapple chutney : An original idea that combines the intense flavour of Iberian sirloin with the fresh texture of pineapple. In addition, all of this can be prepared almost entirely in advance, allowing you to enjoy your guests for longer.
Pairings that elevate the experience
The quality of Iberian ham deserves a match for it. A good cava or a dry sparkling wine can be the perfect companion to enhance the creaminess of Iberian ham . Likewise, smooth red wines or full-bodied whites – such as a Chardonnay with a short aging in barrels – will harmonize perfectly with Iberian loin and chorizo. Here are some more ideas .
The magic of presentation
A key point to impress your guests is to take care of the presentation. Serve your Iberian cured meats on large platters and play with heights and textures to create an appetizing gastronomic landscape. Add decorative details, such as green leaves, edible flowers or small bowls with sauces and flavored oils. Sight is the first sense we conquer at the table, and a careful presentation will make the experience unforgettable.
