About Cachopo
Cachopo is a traditional dish from the Asturias region of Spain, celebrated for its hearty and indulgent nature. It consists of two large veal fillets stuffed with ham and cheese, breaded, and fried to a golden crisp. Variations may include additional fillings such as mushrooms, peppers, or special cheeses, depending on regional or personal preferences. Typically served with fried potatoes, salad, or roasted peppers, Cachopo is a favorite comfort food. While rich in protein from the veal and calcium from the cheese, its high fat content and fried preparation make it a calorie-dense meal that is best enjoyed in moderation. For a healthier twist, baking the Cachopo or using leaner cuts of meat can reduce fat levels. This iconic Asturian dish is a true reflection of Spanish culinary tradition, combining robust flavors with a satisfying texture.
