Precio: 32 € el estuche de 330g


66 pequeñas pastillas de seis grandes crus con distintas procedencias y, consecuentemente, muy variadas características.: manjari (64%), taïnori (64%), caraïbe (66%), guanaja (70%), alpaco (66%) y abinao (85%). Todos se sitúan en niveles de calidad parecidos, si bien con diferentes cualidades, que incitan a la comparación y a la subjetividad. Unos más intensos, otros más refinados; unos más florales, otros más amargos; unos más compensados, otros con diversas secuencias. Todos ellos proporcionan exquisito placer. Por buscar favoritos, nos quedamos con guanaja, amargo, profundo y elegante, que a su vez se comercializa en cajitas metalicas exclusivamente de esa procedencia, seguido del manjari, un tanto refrescante por su sutil acidulación.

Langhe Canobbio Tart


La Corte di Canobbio

País: Italy
Localidad: 12074 Cortemilia (CN)
Dirección: Plazza Oscar Molinari, 11
(+39) 017381262
Precio: 16 € el kilo


The most legendary and popular tart in Langhe. It has two great virtues for being such a traditional, even basic dessert. On one hand, the spongy texture, bringing together a juicy, tactile character completed with the counterpoints of ground, crispy pieces. On the other hand, the flavor: exquisite and immaculate, glorious hazelnut, the renowned Piedmont hazelnut that is used in so many sweets (such as Gianduja where it shares the company of chocolate, hazelnut, cocoa, butter, egg and sugar. This tart is a stellar example of purity with a very tempered sweetness.

Guido Castagna Hazelnut Cream


GUIDO CASTAGNE

País: Italy
Localidad: 10094 Giaveno (To)
Dirección: Via Torino, 54
(+39) 3288659305
Precio: Around 5 and 8 € for 100 and 200 g boxes


The Piedmont region in Italy has made a great contribution to the sweet world of chocolate: its pairing with hazelnut. Gianduja has conquered the gastronomic universe. Of all the different kinds that have been made, this little gem here is the most sought after. It is superb for two reasons: flavor and texture. With regard to the first, the presence of the Piedmont hazelnut comes across exquisitely, representing a full 68% of the mixture, giving the product a refined bitterness strengthened by the chocolate and balanced with a delicate sweetness. The taste is chiefly that of hazelnut, then chocolate, with a tempered amount of sugar. With regard to the second, it couldn’t be creamier, melting in consistency and substance in an almost fizzy way, caressing the palate.

Precio: 2,75 € a 500 ml packet


Julián Gil continues to make history in the high quality food industry. Not content with merely marketing a completely unique extra virgin olive oil mayonnaise, a potato puree that has more than marked its difference… not to mention their béchamel, tomato-basil sauce, quince jelly, their legendary yolks… so many things. Not content, they continue their quest for select products, like this gazpacho, winning the Tudela “Premio Ciudad Agroalimentaria” for the Best Prepared Dish, awarded at the II “Vive Las Verduras” Congress, and celebrated again in May of 2008 at Pamplona Gazpacho where their use of the raf tomato, whose qualities are patent in the flavor with a magnificent balance of sweet and acidic, brought much acclaim. The idiosyncrasy of the raf tomato, the refinement of flavor, the delicacy, the pairing, the harmony… all values that distinguish this soup. In consonance with the other ingredients, the sherry vinegar and garlic are expressed with incredible subtlety.

The immense fattiness of these eels offers a charming succulence and gelatinous quality, further strengthened by a delicate, persistent smoke aroma. The result is a flavorful, intense, satiating, profound experience, filling the mouth as well as the stomach. The meatiness is another important virtue. They are presented in whole filets, deboned, the same length of the fish.
