Natural aroma and flavor from the ground to the plate
Andalusia is one of the leaders in the international market in terms of the production of food from organic farming. Only in our autonomous community is 50% of national production concentrated. In Malaga the most prominent growing areas are the Axarquía, the Serranía de Ronda, Antequera and the Guadalhorce Valley. The Malaga garden is rich in the production of sweet potatoes, zucchini, beans, eggplants, peppers, broad beans, cabbage and some subtropical fruits. But the most popular are those that are consumed most frequently on a daily basis: tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes.
The tomatoes from the Malaga garden have different varieties that differ in their shape, color and ripening point. The most common are the vine tomato (it comes in a bunch and is fleshy and has a mild flavor); the round tomato (larger and very fleshy); the pear tomato (thin skin and elongated shape); the marmande tomato (irregular and green), and the rebellion tomato (with grooves and hard skin). Although the varieties do not stop there: there are many others, such as the peculiar bull's egg tomato, a traditional crop in the municipality of Coín. The most common varieties of cucumbers in the Malaga garden are the French and the Dutch. The first is characterized by its smaller size and rough skin, while the second is elongated, with smooth skin and easier to digest. Potatoes, on the other hand, can be differentiated by their color. The red ones are usually used for frying or stewing; The white ones are the most popular variety and can be used for any purpose (roasted, boiled, for cooking...).
