Local products from Priorat
Before commenting on which are the best restaurants in Priorat, we will mention the three most precious products in the region.
The Priorat wine
Talking about the Priorat is inevitably about its wines. In a tiny region of only 10,000 inhabitants, two denominations of origin have a significant impact on Catalonia.
This is the doq Priorat, the only one in Catalonia with the q label of quality, and do Montsant, a younger designation of origin that offers fresh wines with the mineral essence of Priorat.
The olive oil
El Priorat stands out for its wines and makes exquisite virgin olive oils. The most widely planted olive variety is Arbequina, a small olive with a high oil concentration.
It is produced in Priorat because the tree and its fruit are very well-suited to cold weather. The oil obtained has a smooth and balanced flavor, making it ideal for all dressings.alli, etc.
