The idea originated in Andalusia. It started, so they say, with a piece of bread, topped with ham or cheese, balanced over a glass, to keep the flies and dust away – the word “tapa” means cover. Gradually, other items were added to the tapa and this is how the concept grew. | Nowadays, the Tapas concept is a way of life – a fundamental part of the social ambience. The idea is to order one tapa per person, and a different one with each drink – then everyone enjoys tasting and sharing. Tapas can be “upgraded” to bigger portions known as a “ración”. | The Boxes include a selection of cold and hot tapas – and you can also purchase the cazuela dishes to serve them in. The hot tapas in our boxes are a ración portion, all cooked to authentic Spanish recipes and only using quality products. | Tapas in a Box operate on a mail order basis, you have complete flexibility of how you want to enjoy your food. You can store the chilled products in the fridge and the hot tapas in your freezer and consume when you’re ready – or, if you want to invite a few friends over to enjoy a leisurely long lunch or supper, heat and serve your dishes in stages to suit the mood of the occasion. | | | To be directed to the Tapas in a Box website to order Tapas please click here | | |
