- Anís de Chinchón (Chinchón anís): Anís is an anisette or aniseed liqueur flavoured by the seeds of the anise plant and which tastes a little like liquorice. The Chinchón variety is often simply called that, Chinchón, and is of the most famous in Spain.

- Miel de la Sierra (Sierra honey): The mountains in the north of Madrid's autonomous region are abundant in different species of flowers, creating the the perfect environment for bees and local honey-making. The clear-coloured honey is smooth with a light aroma, and the darker honey has a more intense taste.
- Queso de cabra (goat's cheese): The goats that graze in the Sierra de Guadarrama provide the necessary milk to create a soft, creamy cheese with a special flavour. Ecological goat's cheese is produced in the villages of Fresnedillas de la Oliva and Colmenar Viejo.
- Queso puro de oveja (pure sheep's cheese): Sheep's cheese tends to be of the cured variety. It is matured for a minimum of 4 month's, which helps to give it its special flavour and aroma.
