The activity, held at Castell d\u2019Or with experts and professionals from the sector, showcased new pairing proposals to enhance the gastronomic experience of the cal\u00e7otada.<\/p>\n
This Monday, December 16, the Cambra de Comer\u00e7 de Valls organized an innovative wine and cava tasting with the cal\u00e7otada as its central theme, at Castell d\u2019Or\u2019s facilities in Vila-rodona.<\/p>\n
The event was attended by the president of the Cambra, Josep M. Rovira; the director, Carles Sol\u00e9; the CEO of Castell d\u2019Or, Jordi Amell; and the commercial director, Gonzalo Cle de Diago. Representatives from Salses Fruits, Castell d\u2019Or, and Europastry, official sponsors of the Gran Fiesta de la Cal\u00e7otada, were also present, along with local restaurateurs, collaborators, journalists, and wineries from the region.<\/p>\n
The event began with a presentation of the Castell d\u2019Or cooperative group and the introduction of three exceptional cavas from Castell d\u2019Or: the Gran Reserva Imperial 2018, awarded the Gold Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards; the fresh and elegant Cava Brut Ros\u00e9; and the Cava Brut Nature, recognized for its purity and balance.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, guided by oenologist Oriol P\u00e9rez de Tudela, participants explored in a dynamic and interactive way the wines and cavas that best pair with the authentic cal\u00e7otada. The experience combined tasting and pedagogical analysis with the use of an interactive application that allowed attendees to share their opinions on key elements: the cal\u00e7ots, their sauce, and their relationship with different types of wine. The tasting began with white wines such as Jornal 2023 from Joan Grill (Pla de Manlleu), Escabeces 2022 from Vinyes del Tiet Pere, and Castell Tallat from Mas Vicen\u00e7 (Cabra del Camp), followed by the red wine SUMOI 2022 from ERAVI (Aiguam\u00farcia l\u2019Alba).<\/p>\n
The tasting included a sampling of cal\u00e7ots with Cal\u00e7otada sauce from Salses Fruits (Figuerola del Camp) and Cristallino bread from Europastry, allowing the identification of essential pairing elements and deeper exploration of their combinations. Cava, with its versatility, was solidified as an ideal beverage to accompany the cal\u00e7otada, from the aperitif to dessert.<\/p>\n
In summary, the event was an enriching discussion about new gastronomic and pairing possibilities for the cal\u00e7otada. Valuable conclusions were drawn for the hospitality sector and to strengthen the role of the cal\u00e7otada as a symbol of local gastronomy, connected with the landscape and the identity of Valls, Alt Camp, and the Tarragona region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
