A joint committee that analyses and validates the restaurants – based on objectivity, traceability and transparency – is made up of official institutions and sectoral associations strongly linked to gastronomy. They include the Royal Academy of Gastronomy, Ministry of Agriculture, FACYRE, Regulatory Council for Sherry Wines, ANFACO, INTERPORC, the Spanish Wine Federation, REPSOL Guide and the Ministry of Tourism of Castilla La Mancha.
Home to some of Europe’s most diverse produce and vast array of epicurean delicacies, Spain is a melting pot of gastronomy delights. Anyone who has travelled there would know just how important the role of food plays in the country’s culture. And lucky for us, there’s just so many options for good Spanish cuisine here in Singapore.
The real question is, if you’re not in the know, how does one define high-quality, authentic Spanish cuisine? To guide us along, the Spain Trade and Investment Agency (ICEX) has set up a Restaurants of Spain Certification to recognise restaurants outside of Spain who can best present themselves as global ambassadors of Spanish cuisine.
