• Abstract: Most of the times, the recuperation of cultural heritage is basically focussed on tourism purposes. However, this should not be the only option as there are examples in which heritage has meant a boost in the industry taking the tradition as a starting point. This way, it improves the revenues of the owners and facilitates the social development of rural areas. Sabores de Tallante is a phenomenal example of how an antique and unique knowledge has become a successful business and an asset to a whole village. The owner of the business has kindly provided, through meetings and informal interviews, the information necessary to develop a clear idea of how his business makes a difference in their little village and in its area of influence.
