'''Valley''' cuisine developed in the river valleys and farming communities of central Andora and involves heavy use of milk, cheese, beef, and goat meat alongside vegetables and various heavy spices. Valley regions are known for producing foods with long shelf lives like ''jámon valé'' (smoked, salted, and spiced bacon) and ''curín'' cheese. A traditional peasent dish that has evolved into a fixture of Andoran culture, ''guinzio'' (creamy tomato soup with bacon, served with rye bread and olive oil) and its many variations are considered Valley cuisine.

'''Upland''' cuisine is a smaller but distinct category that comes from the western portions of inland Andora. Due to the dryer climate, Uplands food focuses heavily on ingredients such as wheat, olives, figs, maize, and mutton. Bread products, fig preserves, and dipping sauces from the western regions are well known for their use in communal events and sharable platters. ''Cordero con maízturo'' (roasted lamb legs with oregano and mustard, served on corn and crisp bread) is the most well-known Upland dish.
