The Phoenicians were the first to exert their culinary influence, bringing with them Mojama, a form of air-cured tuna. The Romans next incorporated figs, olives, grapes, and wine into the kitchen culture, and the Moors and Arabs have had a bigger influence than most.
Occupying the Iberian Peninsula for 700 years, the Moors introduced sugar cane and rice, many wonderful fruits and vegetables, and a system of irrigation allowing the growth of crops in the hot and dry Spanish climate.
After the discovery of the New World, potatoes, peppers, chillis, avocado, beans and tomatoes were all used to great effect in the culmination of the contemporary Spanish menu.
Obvious Spanish favourites include paella, Serrano ham, chorizo sausage, and Lomo, a cured pork loin, but there is a wealth of tastes and influences that combine to represent contemporary Spanish cuisine and each region of Spain has its own specialities.
