Our Roasted Suckling Pig Marca de Garantía
At Mesón de Cándido, roast suckling pig is much more than a dish; it is a tradition that we honor with each service, an essential part of the culinary legacy of the Cándido family that has become the distinctive symbol of its history and of Segovian gastronomy.
Cándido López’s dedication to perfecting this traditional recipe has elevated roast suckling pig to an internationally recognized emblem. His meticulous concern for the quality and authenticity of the product has ensured that each dish serves as a genuine representation of the Segovian tradition, making the suckling pig a true cultural treasure.
Conserving this legacy that Cándido started, we are proud to offer our customers suckling pigs that have the “Cochinillo de Segovia” Guarantee Mark, a distinctive mark that ensures the highest quality.
The piglets come from mothers fed in a completely natural way, and they themselves are fed exclusively on mother’s milk.
This meticulous care complies with the strict requirements of the Marca de Garantía Denomination, guaranteeing that each roast suckling pig that leaves our kitchen offers the authentic flavor and tenderness that characterizes this jewel of Segovian gastronomy. In addition, these suckling pigs are subject to rigorous quality controls that ensure their excellence from the field to the table.
Today, Mesón de Cándido is widely recognised as one of the leaders in the roast suckling pig category, both in the province of Segovia and throughout Castilla y León, serving more than 90 suckling pigs a day during the high season.
