Iberian ham bonbons represent a bold, sophisticated culinary innovation that merges high-end pastry mastery with the star product of Spanish gastronomy. This creation is the work of renowned Canarian pastry chef Carmen Capote, who, after training at prestigious institutions like Le Cordon Bleu and cooking at the Élysée Palace for the French president, decided to apply her talent to a unique collaboration with the century-old curing house Monte Nevado.

These bites stand out not only for their surprising flavor profile, but also for a refined aesthetic worthy of the Real Madrid VIP box, where the chef also serves her creations.
