Partnernship
Jaleo at Disney Springs is teaming up with beloved local farm, Southern Hill Farms, to offer a limited-time Strawberry Festival menu from March 14 to March 26. It features seven Spanish-style tapas using fresh, locally grown strawberries.
Menu items include a gazpacho, consisting of strawberries and Pipirrana, a popular summer salad from Southern Spain, and a Basque-style cheesecake topped with strawberries.
With a passion for incorporating the finest ingredients, Jaleo’s executive team, including Head Chef Kristopher Anderson and General Manager Mario Bernal, worked closely with Southern Hills Farm to design the menu during peak Strawberry season. The pair visited Southern Hill Farms in February, handpicking strawberries to ensure absolute freshness.
