Overview of cuba
Cuba is the meeting point of European, African, Chinese, and North American influences to its native island traditions. This melting pot can be clearly seen and experienced in its food and has contributed to the culturally diverse sounds, sights and flavors you'll experience in Cuban cuisine.
Contrary to popular belief, Cuban food is NOT spicy, thanks to the strong presence of sugarcane on the island. This staple crop has very much shaped the food, culture, and history of the country. Cuban food is truly a mix of sweet and sour flavors that create well-balanced and hugely flavorful dishes.
