Chocolates e vinhos: como harmonizar!

Chocolates e vinhos: como harmonizar! Some things seem to have been done for each other. Wine and chocolate, for example, make a delicious combination. They are perfect both for celebrating some special dates and for enjoying those cooler days. That's right! Easter is a time to enjoy delicious recipes with good wine. Full-bodied wine and dark chocolate A good first step for this harmonization is to start with a chocolate that has less sugar and fat, that is, dark chocolate (between 50% and 70% cocoa). This is because the excess of these ingredients can impair the perception of other flavors. As for wine, prefer a more full-bodied and aromatic specimen, with a high residual sugar content. Still in doubt? A red dessert wine has everything to make the perfect tune! Liqueur wine and milk chocolate One of the most classic harmonizations between wine and chocolate is precisely due to the characteristics of the drink: more full-bodied, fortified and which keeps the fruit's natural sugar in its fermentation process. In other words, a liqueur wine is perfectly balanced with the weight of the chocolate. Just be careful not to overdo it! This type of drink has the highest alcohol content - and there is no chocolate to solve this. Dry red wine and chocolate with a high concentration of cocoa 75% chocolates are the perfect companion for dry red wine - like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah. To make everything even better, choose a wine that has gone through the oak barrel, as this process makes the palate more woody. Now that you know which wine to pair with your favorite chocolate - or vice versa, I suggest some recipes to mix them in your taste in surprising ways: Chocolate fondue with red wine Everyone knows that fruit fondue is a classic to get together with friends or a passionate couple, especially on those cooler days. To accompany delights such as strawberries, apricots and other fruits of your choice, you can bet on options of chocolate ready for fondue, which bring the perfect mix of milk and semi-bitter chocolate - ideal for dessert. But it is clear that the most important thing is to please the participants of the meeting. So, use a chocolate (or their mixture) that can please everyone to bathe your fruits. To accompany, there is a more full-bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon. It is perfect for the first part of the fondue - be it meat or cheese - and for fruits. Thus, there is no need to change the types of wine. But if you want to start with a red label and go for a lighter drink at the time of sweets, be sure to try a white wine. Fruit tart and Champagne Exactly, a Champagne! If you still have doubts that this combination can work, think about that strawberry that is strategically placed in champagne glasses. Perfect combination. Now, imagine a strawberry pie (or fruit like lemon and peach) accompanied by a glass of Champagne or sparkling wine or chilled white wine ....... This perfect combination happens because the sweetness of the fruit matches the mild acidity of the drinks. White chocolate pie with white wine The secret here is similar to the fruit tart. In this case, the interesting combination is due to the contrast between white chocolate fat and white wine, such as Moscato. The acidity of the drink helps to clean the fat and sugar present in this type of chocolate, surprising even the most demanding palates. In addition to a tasty pie, try your favorite drink with a mousse prepared with white chocolate. In addition to the harmonious look, this blend is perfect on the palate   |
