There is no way to fulminate the bug, to make him disappear once and for all and, although, today, let's observe that the hospitality sector goes by, the truth is that it has happened bitter.Casa Botín, founded in 1725 is the oldest restaurant in the world, according to the “Guinness book of records” and one of the referents of the best capital cuisine capital.So much so, that the magazine "Forbes" considers this mythical space the third best classic restaurant in the world.Both the house and its two specialties: the pig and the Castilian -style roast lamb.He has managed to dodge such a crisis, caused by Covid, and to survive in adversity, he has reinvented himself.How?Opening a physical store in front of the restaurant and another “online”, named 1725gourmet.The project, according to its owner Carlos González, belonging to the third generation while the fourth, formed by his nephews Antonio and Eduardo and his daughter Raquel, begin to learn the business, already had it settled in the head, “but whatWe started in full pandemic.Our great reinvention has been that we have stopped being just a restaurant to also become a gourmet distributor.Our elaborations are sold in the best stores.Among them, Gold Gourmet, Brovo Mantequerías, Velázquez, 45, El Corte Inglés and saves more.We have used the strength of the Botín brand, known outside our borders ”.Thus, they send the cochinillos and lambs to a factory in Jaén, where they have managed to perfectly reproduce the original recipe: “They have even managed to imitate the oak firewood aroma from which the old oven feeds.We take care of the quality of the ingredients, because we do not put our brand into play, ”adds Carlos, who explains that the client acquires the precooked roasts and vacuum packaged in refrigerated, with an expiration of six months or sterilized, which remainsin perfect condition for a year, hence they begin to offer it by Amazon.The day you decide to consume it, it only needs thirty minutes at 250 degrees and the result is wonderful when it arrives at the table with a perfect cooking inside and the crispy skin on the outside.That said, his intention is to revolutionize the lunches and dinners of this Christmas, since "it is possible to enjoy at home a roast piglet of the highest quality and in the easiest way facilitating the work of the host".Yes, the quality, experience and knowing how centenary loot sneak into the kitchen of who wishes this Christmas.

Another novelty?Botín Casa, which in four years celebrates the third centenary, has become an essential tapas destination.With the aim of attracting a greater number of guests outside lunch and dinner schedule, that is, from ten in the morning to one and four to eight, they propose an informal and fun letter in which, of course, theCochinillo and the Lamb are protagonists.Hence they stand out the lasagna and a different torrezno de pig, las toast, both lamb and pig, with vegetables, curry and mango sauce, original and rich, in addition to the classic Russian salad, which should never be missing in all peckingtraditional to harmonize with the wine of the house: viney.Castizo is also the sweet section, whose elaborations are made and consumed daily.So much so, that in this emblematic corner it is still possible to try the bartolillos, which Pérez Galdós mentions in his work "Mercy".Hemingway frequently talked about the oldest restaurant in the world for his great friendship with Emilio González and pays tribute in "death in the afternoon" and "party", to give an example, while Graham Greene remembers it in "Monsignor Quijote", Gómez de la Serna in her" Greguerías "and more recently María Dueñas in" The time between seams ".
