Chef’s Note:
A tribute to Lanzarote’s terroir—each bite balances the tomato’s acidity, the cheese’s richness, and the mineral depth of volcanic salt. The “Lágrima de Malvasía” (a rare local olive variety) adds a floral, nuanced finish.
Ideal for festival guests seeking authentic Canarian flavors with gourmet simplicity.
