At Spherika, we celebrate World Tapas Day as a unique occasion to pay tribute to one of the most beloved traditions in Spanish gastronomy. This day, commemorated every June 16th, is the perfect time to explore the richness of flavors, textures, and creativity that define tapas, and to discover how innovative ingredients like caviar, roe, and flavor pearls can transform tapas into true gourmet experiences.
Tapas: The Essence of Spanish Culture
A tapa is much more than a simple appetizer: it is a symbol of togetherness, collective enjoyment, and the Spanish cuisine’s ability to reinvent itself without losing its roots. From the classic Murcian “marinera” to the most avant-garde reinterpretations, tapas allow for a fusion of tradition and innovation that we at Spherika take to the highest level.
The Spherika Revolution: Innovation in Every Bite
At Spherika, we are committed to excellence and creativity. Our products, such as sturgeon caviar, fish pearls, and flavor spheres, are the result of a dedication to quality, environmental sustainability, and innovation. These ingredients not only add a touch of distinction to any tapa, but also open the door to new combinations and surprising presentations.
Signature Tapas from the Spherika Recipe Blog
Throughout our blog, we have shared recipes that reinterpret the most traditional tapas and elevate them with our exclusive products. Here are some of the most relevant and popular ones to celebrate Tapas Day:
-
Murcian Marinera with a Spherika Twist
The Murcian marinera is one of the most iconic tapas from the Murcia region, made with a crispy breadstick, Russian salad, and an anchovy. At Spherika, we reinvent it by adding fish pearls, which bring a burst of marine flavor and a unique texture to every bite. -
Patatas Bravas with Chipotle Chili Spheres
Patatas bravas are an undisputed classic. Our version incorporates chipotle chili spheres, which gently burst in your mouth, adding a spicy and sophisticated touch that balances the traditional sauce and elevates the sensory experience of this tapas icon. -
Molecular Gilda
Inspired by the most famous Basque pintxo, our gilda fuses olives, anchovies, and pickled peppers with flavor spheres that intensify the contrast and harmony of each ingredient. A tapa that pays homage to Basque tradition, but with a modern and surprising twist. -
Oysters in Sea Foam with Spherika Caviar
For seafood lovers, we propose fresh oysters accompanied by sea foam and topped with Spherika caviar. The result is an elegant, refreshing tapa with an unmistakable taste of the sea, ideal for special occasions. -
Foie Toast with Pedro Ximénez and Spheres
The combination of foie and Pedro Ximénez is synonymous with sophistication. By adding flavor spheres, we achieve a tapa that balances sweetness, creaminess, and freshness—perfect for surprising the most demanding palates.
Pairing Suggestions for Spherika Tapas
Pairing is essential to fully enjoy the tapas experience. Tapas with caviar or roe pair perfectly with a brut cava, an Albariño white wine, or even a fine sherry, all of which enhance the marine notes and add freshness to the ensemble.
Commitment to Quality and Environmental Sustainability
At Spherika, we select sustainable, top-quality raw materials, such as MSC-certified fish. Our commitment also extends to packaging innovation, like squid ink in reusable glass jars, which help reduce food waste and protect the environment.
