About Oreja

Oreja, Spanish for "ear," is a traditional delicacy originating from Spain, particularly popular in Madrid's tapas scene. It is made from pig’s ear, slow-cooked until tender and then often grilled or sautéed for a crispy texture. Oreja is typically seasoned with garlic, paprika, and olive oil, giving it a rich and savory flavor. While Oreja is high in collagen, which supports skin elasticity and joint health, it is also rich in fats and cholesterol, making it less ideal for those monitoring heart health. As a protein source, it offers vitamins and minerals such as iron and B vitamins, but its preparation often includes added oils and seasonings that can increase caloric content. Best enjoyed in moderation, Oreja embodies the cultural richness of traditional Spanish cuisine, serving as both a unique culinary experience and a reminder of the resourcefulness and variety in global gastronomy.
