Mevalco's new Calçots are in

Mevalco's new Calçots from Alt Camp (Tarragona) are in. Calçots are long, sweet onions and a symbol of Catalan culture. They’re the stars of calçotadas: lively gatherings throughout winter until Easter where family and friends come together to grill, peel, and dip them in romesco sauce. These events go beyond food; they’re a celebration of tradition and community.
PGI Calçots de Valls must measure:
• 15–25 cm of white stem
• 1.7–2.5 cm in diameter (5 cm from the root)

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
