One of the great pleasures of Christmas period is to meet again at the Christmas table and share special moments with our beloved ones. This holiday season invites us to enjoy the company around the table, creating memories that will last beyond the holidays.
The restaurant Portal 22 in Valls seduces us with an innovative gastronomic proposal that is featured by its fresh and Mediterranean flavours, impregnated with oriental influences. Its cuisine, essentially Mediterranean, becomes a harmonious fusion that captures the textures and aromas of local products prepared with creativity and style. Cava is a versatile product, which, due to its acidity and freshness, will pair perfectly with different dishes, always making a good addition.
From Castell d’Or, we bring you good pairing ideas:
Tuna Tartare with Avocado – Cava Cabaret Brut Nature Imperial Reserva
Fresh tuna is the star of this dish: a delicious combination of citrus fruits and aromatic herbs, all decorated with a subtle touch of extra virgin olive oil and accompanied by creamy avocado cut with perfection. An explosion of fresh flavours and delicate textures in every bite that combines perfectly with the freshness and acidity of cava. We will pair this dish with a very special cava, Cabaret Brut Nature Imperial Reserva, an elegant combination of green fruit freshness and creamy texture, with an intense mineral aftertaste.
Lobster with wok of vegetables and king prawns – Cava Castell d’Or Brut Imperial Reserve
This pairing offers an exquisite and balanced culinary experience. The lobster, with its delicacy and marine flavour, merges with the crunchy textures and aromas of a wok of fresh vegetables and king prawns. The perfect balance between the salty touch of seafood and the diversity of vegetable flavours is complemented by Cava Castell d’Or Brut Imperial: seductive and elegant. This Cava belongs to the Superior Guard Cava category, and spends more than 24 months in the bottle acquiring a delicious aromatic complexity.
Oxtail sandwich with Kimchi – Cava Castell d’Or Brut Orgànic
The pairing of the Oxtail Bikini with kimchi sauce and cava presents a delicious contrast. Kimchi sauce is emblematic of Korean cuisine and has a spicy touch that contrasts perfectly with Castell d’Or Organic Brut Cava, a cava made in an ecological way and that has been aged for more than 14 months. The refreshing bubbles of the cava balance the spiciness of the kimchi, creating a harmonious contrast that highlights the complexity of the flavors of this dish.
Cheesecake with dulce de leche and pineapple ice cream – Cava Brut Castell d’Or
To finish our original gastronomic proposal, we opted for a Cava Brut Castell d’Or, ideal to accompany this dish and complete this culinary experience with citrus and refreshing notes that merge perfectly with the creaminess of the cake and the sweetness of caramelized milk and pineapple ice cream. Its bubbles cleanse the palate, preparing it for each new bite and enhancing the exquisiteness of these desserts. A pairing that elevates the senses and culminates the tasting with elegance and freshness.
We invite all foodies to explore the interesting experience of pairing an entire Christmas meal with cava. From the beginning to the end of the menu, each dish can be enjoyed with a different variety of cava, expanding the horizons of flavours and providing a delicious gastronomic experience.
