Description
Punta Aljibe’s Alicante Salmorreta is a traditional sauté essential in the cuisine of Alicante, particularly for preparing rice dishes such as paella. Made with high-quality ingredients like extra tomatoes, locally sourced dried ñora, virgin olive oil from Alicante, purple garlic from Las Pedroñeras (Cuenca), and Mediterranean spices such as Santa Pola salt and sugar.
The salmorreta has an intense garnet-red color, which may vary slightly depending on the ñora harvest, and its aroma is powerful, dominated by ñora and Mediterranean spices. Its thick texture, similar to that of a Canary “mojo” or Catalan “romescu sauce,” makes it an ideal condiment for dishes like Alicante paella, arroz a banda, or fideuà.
Apart from its unmistakable flavor, Alicante salmorreta offers the advantage of saving both time and money in preparing a traditional sauté. It’s a completely natural product, free of preservatives and colorants, and safe for people with gluten or lactose intolerances.
