What Are Spanier Tapas?
To truly appreciate the art of tapas, one must first understand what they are. Spanier tapas are small dishes that encapsulate the essence of Spanish cuisine. Originating from Spain, these small plates are designed for sharing, allowing for a variety of flavors and textures within a single meal. Tapas can range from simple slices of cured meats and cheeses to sophisticated, beautifully crafted dishes that showcase seasonal ingredients.
The History of Tapas
The term “tapas” is believed to have originated from the Spanish verb "tapar," which means "to cover." Traditionally, tapas were served as a cover for drinks—small plates laid over glasses of sherry to keep flies away. Over time, these small plates evolved into a beloved culinary tradition, representing hospitality and the joy of communal dining.
