Ubeda -- Gastronomy
In Jaén we can find excellent meat, specially game. Small game, like partridge, rabbit and hare, and big game like wild boar, roe deer, buck and red deer are the staple of Sierra de Cazorla's cuisine. This food is so popular that its influence can be felt in the rest of the province. Try the excellent baby goat with garlic from the region and the choto al ajo cabañil (goat fried with garlic and saffron). In this province, the meat processing industry is very important, mostly dedicated to pork. Like Córdoba, Jaén is a great place for flamenquín, a steak that is wrapped with cured ham, breaded and fried that will surprise thanks to the excellent combination of flavours. The excellent treatment given to cod in Jaén makes up for the lack of fish. Cod is prepared in a number of ways, but specially roasted and Baeza-style, a delicious recipe that takes pine nuts, peas and sweet peppers.
Jaén is famous for its great-quality fruits, like cherries, morello cherries, peaches, apricots, pears, apples, quinces, persimmons, figs, early figs, melons and water melons that constitute a delicious and healthy way to end a great meal. Another option is to try the specialities of the confectionery of Jaén, made in convents and bakeries, like sesame treats, puff pastries, marzipan, sponge cakes, mantecados (biscuits made with almonds and lard) and honey-coated pastries, mouth-watering treats that anyone will love.
While it is true that olive cultivation has progressed to the detriment of vineyards, Jaén still has excellent wines, such as Torreperogil, Bailén, Lopera and Frailes. And after a heavy meal try some anisette or some risolí (an Arab liqueur made from coffee and aniseed). The visitor that wishes to get to know Jaén's cuisine more deeply should go to Casa Antonio Restaurant, recommended by the CAMPSA guide and a landmark in the capital. In Baeza, Juanito Restaurant specialises in natural dishes, always dressed with their own home-made olive oil. It was rated 1 sun by the CAMPSA guide.
