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
