The excellent climate, the volcanic soil and the careful cultivation of wine-growers do the rest in the vineyards of the Canary Islands. Enjoying these highly-prized, award-winning wines is quite the experience, the fruit of a unique region.

One of them, Dillen’s prickly pear, yields a fruit with numerous nutritional properties. This fruit is a low-calory superfood that can be eaten raw, boiled or even as a topping for select cheeses. It is also used in juices, jams and all kinds of recipes: a healthy, natural way of giving Canarian dishes a splash of colour.
