Montilla
Flamenquin
It is one of the dishes that most visitors identify with this city. It is a breaded pork roll stuffed with serrano ham. It is usually accompanied by salad, French fries and mayonnaise.
In Montilla, wine is central to the culinary experience, particularly the renowned Pedro Ximénez. This sweet wine, with its deep and rich flavors, plays a starring role in many dishes. It is frequently used to enhance meats, sauces, and desserts, adding a unique depth to each bite. Visitors can experience these creations in Montilla’s taverns and restaurants, where Pedro Ximénez serves as a key ingredient in a range of local delicacies.
Tapas are a must-try in Montilla, offering a sample of traditional flavors in small portions. Local favorites include Salmorejo — a cold, creamy tomato soup similar to gazpacho but richer and thicker, often topped with ham or egg — and Flamenquines, crispy rolls of pork wrapped in Serrano ham. Ajoblanco, an almond-based soup often garnished with grapes or melon, highlights Andalusian cuisine’s balance of simplicity and refinement.
Montilla offers a variety of hearty dishes, showcasing the town’s connection to agriculture and viticulture. A popular choice is Carrillada (braised pork cheeks), often prepared with regional wines that add an extra layer of flavor to the tender meat. Lamb and game dishes are also common, frequently slow-cooked to bring out their rich flavors.
Another highlight is Rabo de Toro (oxtail), slow-braised in a rich wine broth until it reaches perfect tenderness. This dish, a nod to Montilla’s rural heritage, emphasizes the town’s close ties to nature and its vineyards.
Montilla’s cuisine would be incomplete without its traditional sweets. Local bakeries are famous for treats like Mantecados and Polvorones, crumbly pastries enjoyed particularly around the holiday season. Another local favorite is Pestiños, fried pastries coated in honey and infused with hints of cinnamon and sesame.
Mostachones, a light, lemony pastry, is a popular treat, often paired with a glass of Pedro Ximénez wine to round off a meal on a sweet note.
In Montilla, food and wine culture are inseparable. The town invites visitors to explore the best regional wines directly in the local wineries, including Bodega Alvear, one of Spain’s oldest wineries. Here, visitors can see firsthand how Pedro Ximénez influences local gastronomy and how deeply intertwined wine is with the region’s culinary heritage.
