Welcome to a global celebration dedicated to honoring the delectable and versatile culinary delight known as the croquette. Celebrated on January 16, this gastronomic event brings together food enthusiasts, chefs, and communities to revel in the crispy, golden-brown goodness of croquettes.
Croquettes trace their origins to France in the 18th century. Initially a way to repurpose leftovers, cooks combined meat, vegetables, or fish with béchamel sauce, shaping the mixture into small cylinders, coating them in breadcrumbs, and frying. This innovative dish quickly spread across Europe, evolving into a beloved culinary delight worldwide.
Croquettes are a big part of Spain's gastronomy, and there are a lot of different fillings to indulge in.
Here are five places on the island to try some delicious croquettes:
