So, what is almeja?
Almeja is a Spanish term that refers to clams, a type of shellfish widely used in Mediterranean and Latin American cuisine. These bivalves are known for their tender, juicy meat and briny, oceanic flavor. Almejas can be served raw on the half-shell, steamed, boiled, or grilled with garlic, white wine, and herbs. They are often used as a base for soups, stews, and pasta dishes, adding depth and complexity to the broth. High in protein, vitamins, and minerals, almejas are a healthy and sustainable ingredient that reflects the vibrant coastal culture of Spain and beyond.
