Ca Joan is one of the great
carnivorous temples
of the Valencian Community and, if we are hurried, of Spain.
The Mediterranean steakhouse that
Joan Abril
runs in Altea (Alicante), and which he owns, is synonymous with a great product with hardly any handling, something that is particularly noticeable in his
overripe red meats
that he now also
sends home
.
The man from Alicante, a true master of extreme ripening and whose obsession with meat goes hand in hand with the respect he professes for it, launches
Ca Joan Meet Club
.
It is a
unique delivery service
with which it sends to all of Spain and
in less than 48 hours
chops and steaks that age in the chambers of the Alteano restaurant.
Beef chop.
If something characterizes Abril, who carries the hospitality industry in his genes, it is his
taste for the different
: from the dining room format that he opened
in 2008
(a meat grill in a land where what is mostly carried
is rice and fish
) to the treatment of the carnivorous product, which is subjected to long periods of aging and which
vary depending on the size and fat
of each specimen. The objective is to enhance its flavor and achieve a
buttery texture
. An experience that can already be lived at home.
"At Ca Joan we are committed to offering things different from what everyone else has. We decided to create Ca Joan Meet Club because, as in our house
, the customer comes first
, we want anyone to be able to enjoy the
rock & roll
of our meats and various products at any time and place ", says Joan Abril.
Beef chorizo.
The offer
is varied and substantial
, although the king is the ox. Thus, we find cutlets with

(90 euros / kg); gluten-free jerky (22 euros / 100 g); Premium chorizo (29 euros / 600-800 g) and

LAB No. 1
, that they make themselves.

copper alembic from
1880- that has undergone five distillations and which has among its 10 botanicals thyme, sweet orange, cardamom, fuji apple, spearmint, juniper berries, lavender or chamomile.
