Strawberry season is here, and to celebrate, Jaleo Disney Springs is bringing back its Festival de Fresas, in partnership with Central Florida’s beloved local farm, Southern Hill Farms. From Jan. 29 to Feb. 18, guests can enjoy a menu of sweet and savory specials curated by Head Chef Kristoffer Anderson, all featuring locally grown strawberries from Clermont, FL. Spanish-style eats include a bright strawberry gazpacho, scallop crudo accented with sweet berries and a special strawberries and cream dessert. Additional items include an avant-garde Cono de Fresa y Queso Mamá Marisa, a signature Jaleo small bite of strawberry marmalade and blue cheese decorated with crumbled pistachios.
Leading up to the festival, Chef Anderson has worked closely with Southern Hill Farms to design the menu. Chef will continue to visit the farm regularly during the festival to collect strawberries, ensuring fresh and fine ingredients for his dishes. This year, guests who indulge in the Strawberry Festival at Jaleo will receive an exclusive offer for a “U-Pick Strawberries” experience at Southern Hill Farms. The family-owned operation is a 120-acre farm, featuring strawberry, blueberry, peach and sunflower u-pick activities from Dec. to May.
Please see the full menu HERE and make your reservations now.
