Antonio Chopped Almagro Aubergine (350g)

These chopped Almagro aubergines are a perfect example of the renowned Spanish preserve, crafted from the distinctive Dealmagro aubergine variety grown around Bolaños de Calatrava, Ciudad Real. This particular format uses chopped, peeled aubergines, marinated with Spanish wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, cumin, wild fennel, salt, and smoked paprika, following traditional artisan methods.

The aubergines are hand-harvested at their optimal ripeness, ensuring the perfect balance of texture and flavour in every batch. The cubed pieces allow the tangy, aromatic marinade to penetrate evenly, providing a distinctive and lively taste experience while being exceptionally easy to use straight from the jar.

Antonio’s preserves have long been celebrated for their artisanal approach, maintaining the integrity of original recipes and prioritising the use of local and organic ingredients whenever available. Their dedication to quality can be seen in their multiple awards at the Premio Gran Selección, which celebrates the best in Castilian food traditions. This method of carefully selecting, blanching, chopping, and marinating the aubergines preserves not just the regional flavour, but also important nutrients.

Chopped Almagro aubergines are naturally gluten free and are low in fat and calories, making them a smart, healthy addition to your kitchen. Thanks to their high fibre content and abundance of antioxidants, including chlorogenic acid, they promote digestive health and may help protect against oxidative stress.

They are produced with respect for artisan heritage and the highest quality standards. The use of hand-selected aubergines, organic olive oil, and aromatic local spices ensures each jar delivers the true essence of Spanish cuisine, while a careful production process honours both regional traditions and the environment.
