About Gastronomy - Protected D.O. La Rioja
A Protected Designation of Origin is the result of quality original products that are due to the geographical environment in which they are produced, as well as the natural and human factors involved in the process. Correos continues to carry out the series dedicated to highlighting Gastronomy in which it covers the Spanish geography.
One of the stamps is dedicated to the Anguiano Bean. This unique legume is a hallmark of identity throughout La Rioja. The sensation it produces in the mouth is very pleasant, soft and buttery. It is a grain of smaller size and with less robust skin, which is appreciated when cooking and consuming it. Cooking is very comfortable since it is cooked before and the grain does not break, even if it is overcooked. It is very adaptable, since being such a fine grain allows various combinations. This degree of quality and all these characteristics are due to the climate and gravelly soils typical of this mountain area.
The Pedroso Nut is the PDO that is the protagonist of the second seal. This nut is the only Protected Designation of Origin in the entire national territory. It extends over a large part of the Riojan territory, through the Pedroso terminus and the municipalities of the upper middle valleys of the Najerilla and Oja rivers and their tributaries. The entire Walnut process is carried out by hand. Thanks to the geographical environment, this dried fruit has more antioxidants, tannins and omega-3 fatty acids. This is the result of the climate and drying in the open air, as was done before, allowing the walnut to last in very good conditions for up to a year
