The Don Gastronom Dried Date Walnut Fruit Cake harks far back to the days when the peasants of Alicante made this fruit cake to sustain them through their work out in the fields. Today, Don Gastronom continues to craft these dense, delicious, 100% natural fruit cakes as not only the perfect snack but also amazing paired with yoghurt or cream for dessert and even chopped into a salad.Don Gastronom started out in 1966 as a family business catching and tinning fish and seafood from Spain’s Galician coast. Even today, the pretty Don Gastronom factory receives its catch fresh every day from its own small dock, preserving the exclusive taste of its gourmet seafood line. But the family also realized that international consumers were missing out on a whole world of traditional Spanish delicacies, produced lovingly to traditional recipes using superb local ingredients. Don Gastronom reached out to local producers throughout Spain, many also family-run businesses, and expanded its lineup to include gourmet items from the Canary Islands to Madrid and beyond. Products like the Don Gastronom Dried Date Walnut Fruit Cake are perfect for those who appreciate the fine flavours of traditional Spanish cuisine!
