Javier Fontecha

The provided articles do not mention Javier Fontecha. Instead, they focus on Ricardo Vélez, a pastry chef from Madrid, and his creation of a chocolate palmera (pastry). Vélez's palmera is newsworthy due to its high price (16 euros) and the use of a specific ingredient: pork lard from Guijuelo. This has sparked debate and interest on social media, with some considering it a luxury item. The pastry is being touted as possibly the best chocolate palmera in the world, making Vélez a relevant figure in the Spanish pastry scene.
