Ron Legendario celebrates his Cuban Day, a journey through the Caribbean country through the five senses.
Is it possible to combine tradition and sophistication through cooking? Ron Legendario has proposed this challenge with the celebration of his Cuban Day, using as star ingredients the different varieties of rum that are produced in a traditional way in the Caribbean country. The expert hands of chef Roberto Hierro have been able to adapt some of the most recognizable dishes of their gastronomy, to turn them into authentic signature cuisine.
After the success of its previous call last year in Seville, Ron Legendario has chosen Madrid as the host city to host the second edition of the Legendario Cuban Day. The spirit firm, internationally recognized for its iconic bottle bearing the Cuban flag, has organized a day of homage to the country in which they intend to spread the values that have placed it as one of the most appreciated rum brands: its taste for life and the preservation of its 100% Cuban origin.
Traditional dishes cooked with Ron Legendario
The star activity of this event has been an innovative showcooking in which some twenty participants from the world of communication, gastronomy and social networks, guided by the prestigious chef Hierro, have created different creations with their own hands. The result has been surprising dishes, specialties of Cuban gastronomy, reinterpreted using Ron Legendario as star ingredient.
An exquisite menu where dishes such as black beans, roast pork or enchilados shrimp have been tasted, under an update that brings these creations to the highest cuisine when combined with the characteristic flavor of our rum.

Cuban Party
Both the showcooking and the subsequent tasting of the dishes have taken place at the historic Café de Oriente in Madrid.

The whole evening was livened up with a group of Cuban music that reviewed live the classics that have made Caribbean rhythms universal.
The evening ended with an original Cuban party, in which all the guests prepared the authentic flambé coffee with Legendario Elixir de Cuba and in which an expert cocktail shaker introduced them to the art of combining the wide range of Ron Legendario to obtain the most original cocktails. Because there’s a whole universe of flavors beyond the infallible mojito!
Legendario, the authentic cuban rum
Ron Legendario’s story is linked to that of the island of Cuba itself. Its origin dates back to 1946 and since then, more than half a century later, it continues to be made entirely in Cuba, keeping intact its artisan manufacturing methods. It is precisely this desire not to lose his soul that has led Ron Legendario to make his way internationally as one of the reference brands in the spirits sector.
Ron Legendario is proud to carry the essence of authentic Cuban flavor around the world. With its own headquarters in Spain, Italy, Germany, France and South Korea, Legendario has become in its own right one of the best valued rums in four of the five continents.
All the varieties commercialized by Ron Legendario are produced combining different vintages of rums between 3 and 15 years old. Each step of the elaboration process is carried out under the attentive supervision of its master rum makers, who are responsible for keeping alive the legacy of the original recipes that have made Legendario a rum unique in the world.
