Quito´s gastronomy conquers European palates and puts Andean cuisine on the international map

Quito's gastronomy continues to expand its presence in the European market by promoting iconic products and culinary offerings that combine tradition, identity, and sustainability. In the Spanish capital, the city presented a representative sample of its gastronomic richness, highlighting specialty coffee from the Andean Chocó region and cuisine based on local ingredients and ancestral techniques.

At Coffee Fest Madrid, Quito Coffee positioned itself as a benchmark for responsible, high-quality production, cultivated in an environment of great biodiversity. Its participation helped to highlight the work of small producers and strengthen the connection between territory, culture, and tourism.

Likewise, during Madrid Fusion, one of the most influential gastronomic congresses globally, the Quito delegation presented traditional dishes reinterpreted with a contemporary approach. Their presentation highlighted native ingredients and the Andean culinary heritage, generating interest among chefs, the specialized press, and industry professionals.

These actions are part of the international promotion strategy driven by Quito Tourism, which seeks to position the city not only as a cultural and heritage destination, but also as a gastronomic epicenter of Latin America. The combination of biodiversity, ancestral heritage, and culinary innovation is thus consolidated as a competitive advantage in the European market.
