It has been presented, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and Environment, Momentos Cava. This work dedicated to "one of the most seductive drinks in the world", as highlighted Rafael Anson, during the ceremony.
The work edited by the Planet Group has the collaboration of the Association of Friends of the Royal Academy of Gastronomy of Spain.
Currently, cava is not only produced in Catalonia
El digging, has built its prestige, history and exceptional quality since Catalonia. It is still the engine of digging Spanish. Today it is also produced in other regions, such as Valenciana, Navarra, Aragon or Extremadura.
In this book, prefaced by Anson, it is confirmed that "the moments of cava are all". What each participating sommelier explains - how Jaume Estruch, Guillermo Cruz or Juan Muñoz- specialists in wine tourism. They have also collaborated Spanish Nutrition Foundation (PHEN) and the Mediterranean Diet Foundation.
The work includes recipes to harmonize with cava from some of the great Catalan chefs. We meet Joan Roca, Carme Ruscalleda, Sergio and Javier Torres, Albert Adrià, Jordi Cruz and Oriol Castro and the rest of those responsible to enjoy.
Along with them, other national stars, such as: Martin Berasategui, Juan Mari Arzak, Andoni Luis Aduriz, Ángel León, Paco Roncero, Mario Sandoval and Óscar Velasco, among others. Everyone recognizes, including a section on cocktails, that there is no companion as versatile or extraordinary as the digging.
One of the great contributions of the work is the establishment of a typology of the different types of digging. It stands out that there is one for every occasion, for every recipe. As well as for any company and at all times.
I have always been convinced that all gastronomic pleasure harmonizes with a good sparkling wine. And the work is a magnificent alternative to discover the world of one of the greatest.
From the field to the table. Above all, because it claims that it can be an extraordinary companion for any recipe. Whether traditional or cutting edge.
