Our products
Serranas
4 persons
A true gourmet experience that marries the expertly cured Iberian pork from La Huelva region, freely raised exclusively on acorns, with the rich sheep cheese from Navarra's green meadows. As a perfect complement, we've selected a full-bodied red wine from La Rioja. This exceptional pairing captures the essence of these regions, delivering a harmonious fusion of character and intensity.
Rioja red wine “Reserva de la familia” Monte Real
Rioja Reserva de Familia is made with
Tempranillo grapes from Cenicero and aged in oak
barrels for 24 to 30 months. It reveals an intense cherry red
color with hints of tile, and its robust vinous aromas are in
perfect harmony with the delicate notes of fine wood.

pairing compatibility.
OUR MISSION
Our aim is to deliver an experience.
Make your palate travel from the green valleys of the Alps to
the rocky volcanic islands in the south of Spain. Experiment
with the flavours of almost unknown niche products and relax
enjoying their combinations with the more classical ones. We
believe in food as a mean of gathering people together, promote
friendship and discover history and traditions. We believe in
quality over quantity. We believe in good food and enjoying life
through it.
OUR STORY
We are two friends, brought together by our shared passion for good food and belief that good food is fundamental to enjoy your life. As Spanish and Italian expats, now living in the Netherlands, we got used to the tradition of packages sent by our friends and relatives containing the products we miss the most from our homelands.
This sort of "ritual" inspired us to create a service to share with you the emotion to open a package containing selected products, chosen with care, transmitting the traditions of the places we are coming from. As soon as we decided to follow this mission, the name of the company came out clear: La Scarpetta.
Fare la scarpetta literally "make the little shoe", means mopping up and collecting the reaming sauce left on the plate with a small piece of bread. This gesture represents the ultimate act of enjoyment of a delicious dish, meaning that you don't want to leave even a single drop on your plate and it is the best compliment a cook can get.
