From the Earth to the Plate: The Process of Preparing Calçotadas at Lo Cel de Toló
The calçotada Lleida is one of the most representative gastronomic traditions of Catalan culture, and at Lo Cel de Toló we offer you an experience that goes far beyond a simple meal. In this article, we explain the entire process that follows from when we plant the calçots until they reach your plate, so that you can enjoy an authentic and sustainable experience.
Growing Calçots: An Ecological and Responsible Practice
Everything begins in the field, where we grow the calçots with an ecological and sustainable approach. We use environmentally friendly farming techniques, which ensures that each calçot is of the highest quality. The harvesting of the calçots is done manually to ensure that each one reaches the cooking process at its optimal point.
Harvesting: The Harvesting of the Calçots
Harvesting is a key moment in the preparation of a calçotada Lleida. Once the calçots have reached maturity, they are carefully harvested. This process is essential to obtain tender, tasty calçots that are ready to be cooked. At Lo Cel de Toló, we make sure that each calçot is treated with the utmost respect and care.
Grilled Cooking: The Final Touch of the Calçotada Lleida
The calçots are cooked over a grill, using a wood fire to give them the authentic flavour that characterises a calçotada Lleida. The heat of the fire allows the calçots to caramelise on the outside and remain tender on the inside, creating that unique texture and flavour that every lover of this tradition seeks.
The Experience: More than just a Calçotada Lleida
At Lo Cel de Toló, a calçotada Lleida is an experience that goes beyond the gastronomic. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, enjoy the outdoors and share a unique moment with friends and family. All this, while tasting local and sustainable products that respect the environment.
