Each summer, Iberia welcomes a cosmopolitan mix of travelers, and in 2025, the airline continues to showcase the heart of Spanish gastronomy with a refined inflight tapas menu.
Premium Cold Cuts, Artisanal Sausages, and Regional Cheeses
Business Class guests on domestic routes are greeted with a chilled glass of sherry, thoughtfully paired with an array of authentic Spanish tapas: expertly sliced cold cuts, traditional cured sausages, and handpicked cheeses from across Spain’s diverse regions.
The selection of savory meat tapas includes
salchichón
and
fuet
(aromatic pork salamis), spicy
chorizo
,
lomo
(cured pork loin), and
cecina
(delicate slices of air-dried beef). Cheese lovers will appreciate the ever-popular
manchego
, the smoky Basque
Idiazábal
, the nutty Minorcan
Mahón
, and the unique Majorero from the Canary Islands. Menus are carefully rotated, ensuring outbound and return flights from Madrid feature distinct regional specialties.
Gazpacho
and
Tortilla Española
: Signature Flavors on Transatlantic Journeys
On Iberia’s long-haul Business Class, the culinary offering is expanded with an even broader selection of Spanish favorites during lunch and dinner service.
For
starters,
guests may choose between vibrant
gazpacho
or creamy
salmorejo
—both classic chilled tomato soups—accompanied by creative salads, from apple and mango infusions to heritage tuna and tomato combinations.
Main Courses
celebrate Spanish culinary artistry with marinated chicken, acorn-fed pork jowl, succulent veal sirloin, and a rotation of seasonal fish and meat entrees. Each dish is crafted with premium ingredients and paired with sides such as sautéed wild mushrooms, slow-cooked potatoes with onions and peppers, or crisp string beans. A standout is the Atlantic salmon, served with roasted pumpkin, beetroot, and baby spinach.
Gourmet Snacks
on long-haul flights feature the iconic
tortilla española
(Spanish potato omelette), presented with green asparagus, confit artichokes, and oven-roasted tomatoes. Additional options include a flaky tuna empanada or savory pie, complemented by a fresh tomato salad.
