Sun-dried Muscatel raisins from La Axarquía region
Type
Gastronomy & Flavors
In the sun-drenched hills of La Axarquía, east of Málaga, grow some of the finest Muscatel grapes in the world. These grapes are harvested by hand and then dried naturally in the sun on traditional stone beds called paseros. The result: rich, sweet raisins with intense flavor and a chewy texture. Recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS) by the FAO, this ancestral method reflects centuries of local farming tradition. These raisins are more than a snack—they are a living legacy of Málaga's rural soul and craftsmanship.
