Juan Miguel Lopez Gil Moya, Cervezas’ sommelier, starts by reminding us that our brains can store up to 10,000 flavors and aromas. It takes only one sensory stimulus to activate it and trigger memories, moments, and sensations that are related to food.
Chechu Gonzalez, chef at Maria de la O and Cervezas alhambra, has taken on this challenge to welcome the summer. Six very different beers are paired with six completely new dishes. This is the result of the fertile creative mind one of Granada’s greatest chefs.
To welcome the gastronomic season, this proposal began with a tomato-hake roe marinade. It was full of flavor and had a salty point. This was accompanied by Alhambra Singular, which is the freshest of the evening. Chechu’s sensational pickles, a factory brand that he uses to win on stages as complex as Madrid Fusion, are simply amazing!
These were followed by artichokes and cecina, as well as cod pilpil, which was paired with Numeradas de Alhambra Palo Cortado. You can have meat, vegetables, and fish all on one plate. The marine torrezno will delight those who love crispy flavours.
He continued his proposal with the Alhambra Reserve Roja and beef tendons and vegetable soup. Tendons that are as delicious as tripe, and as gelatinous as possible. They have to endure the summer letter by Maria de la O. To keep track of them.
Spicy porridge and Octopus / IDEAL
Next, the Alpujarras Costa Tropical Truffled, a tribute the province of Granada, octopus with spicy porridge. This was paired alongside Alhambra Cask Ron Granadino
Then came a powerful and exceptional marinated Iberian bacon, courgette flowers, and Pedro Ximenez Numeradas de Alhambra. Finally, the dessert was very risky: cherries, sherry vinegar icecream, paired with Numeradas de Alhambra Cacao, and orange peel.
Maria de la O, Cervezas alhambra and Cervezas Alhambra offer a variety of pairings that will not leave you unimpressed. These pairings can only be enjoyed on Wednesday 22 June and Thursday 23 June. It is a luxury to enjoy a top-quality gastronomic Summer.
