MAIDAJES RECOMMENDED BY EXPERTS
Semidulce & Semi -curated cheese
Among the recommendations of experts, the pairing of the vino semidulce ‘Princesa Ico’With a semi -curated cheese from Lanzarote. This wine is made with volcanic mauvasia, Diego and Touch Moscatel of Alexandria. The keys to the pairing are found in the sweetness of the wine, provided by its Moscatel grape, which contrasts with the slightly acidic texture and flavor of semi -credible goat cheese. The balanced acidity of wine also helps cut the creaminess of semi cheese. This makes the sensation on the palate very balanced. The fruit aromas and white flowers of the Malvasia, with its touch of volcanic freshness of the Diego grapes, enhance the herbaceous nuances of the semi -curated goat cheese. Finally, the light and fresh body of wine contrasts with the creamy and slightly firm texture of cheese, creating a pairing in which both elements stand out without predominance of one over the other.
This pairing can be accompanied with some artisanal breads, jams of soft fruits or even with a selection of nuts, which also help highlight the flavors of both the semi -spilled and cheese wine.
Dry wine & smoked cheese
In the references of Dry wines, the Bodegas Vega de Yuco tasting team opted, in this case, for a wine Ecological Volcanic Malvasia of the Yaiza Essence line.
For this wine they found the perfect ally in the smoked goat cheese. This type of pairing is ideal, according to tasting experts, because "Both this wine and smoked cheese have very specific profiles that complement each other”.
The Yaiza Ecological, with its freshness, acidity and fruity notes, contrasts perfectly with the intense and smoked flavor of goat cheese. This type of cheese has been subjected to a smoked process, which gives it an additional layer of flavor. Its texture is firm, dense and somewhat granulated, and its flavor is intense, with an earthy and salty touch. The smoked brings an extra complexity, which gives it a more robust and deep profile than other softer goat cheeses.
The acidity of the wine helps cut the fat and robustness of cheese, which also makes the sensation in the palate more balanced. The minerality of the ecological yaiza and the smoked taste of cheese are equally very well balanced, without either of the two products to overcome the other.
While the wine refreshes the palate with its acidity, the smoked goat cheese offers a rich texture and a deep flavor that is enhanced by the minerality of this volcanic Malvasia. Undoubtedly, a clean and balanced pairing that creates an elegant combination that is complemented.
To add an extra touch to this pairing, we recommend accompanying it with some bread, peaks or threads of Teguise, the valleys or tinajo. It is also very good for nuts such as almonds or nuts. They are an excellent option, since they provide texture that fits with the creaminess of cheese and the acidity spark of this ecological wine.
Vinto Tinto & Semi -curated cheese with paprika
Without leaving behind other grapes and varieties, red From Lanzarote they are also suitable to enjoy them with cheeses and, in this case, the Casters of Vega de Yuco marked their preferences with a Cabra semi -pea with paprika. A classic that could not be missing in this traditional pairing. The chosen red wine was his premium Princess Gara de Listán Negro and Syrah.
race, with its freshness, acidity and notes to red fruits, combines harmoniously with the spicy and smoked cheese flavor. Gara red has an average body, with soft tannins. It is a fresh wine, but with enough complexity to accompany tastier and with character, such as goat cheese with paprika.
The combination of the red and ruby tones of the wine along with the golden and reddish color of the paprika in the cheese makes the presentation of this pairing visually also very attractive. In addition, the sensory experience is equally interesting, with the wine enhancing the spicy notes of cheese and cheese enhancing wine complexities.
For this pairing it is ideal to accompany it with some bread or cereal toast to soften the intensity of the paprika. Some nuts such as almonds or nuts can also do very well.
Sparkling & Cured Cheese
The sparkling wine Like the ancestral d’Ac of native grapes white listan of Lanzarote, is an excellent option to pair with the Cured goat cheese, since its characteristics combine very well with the intensity and robust flavor of this cheese. This wine, with its ancestral method, is an uniluting, jovial and natural wine, whose bubbles have been created naturally during a single bottle fermentation.
The upbringing in the Lias gives him that creamy texture and a roasted touch that harmonizes very well with the most complex and cured flavors of goat cheese. This creaminess softens the profile of cheese and helps balance the salinity of it.
D’Encestral Yuco has fresh acidity that is also ideal for cutting the intensity of cured cheese. Wine bubbles also help clean the palate after each cheese bite, making each bite as pleasant as the first.
The acidity and freshness of this white listán wine, with its slight floral and fruity touches, contrast wonderfully with the deepest, salty and somewhat spicy flavor of curing. Equally balanced combination in which neither predominates over the other.
To further enhance the pairing, it is recommended to accompany this duo with some nuts, which provide a crunchy texture and flavors that are going well with both products. A little Canarian honey or artisanal fruits of Lanzarote could add an extra layer of complexity to the pairing, balancing acidity and salinity.
Sweet Wine - Cured Cheese
Finally, the sweet wines of Moscatel grape They are ideal not only for desserts, but also to share a snack with a good cheese from the earth. Vega de Yuco proposes its Muscat of Alexandria With a powerful pairing of Cured goat cheese.
The sweetness and freshness of wine perfectly balance the intensity, salinity and complexity of cured cheese. This pairing offers a contrast between sweet and salty.
The rich and slightly spicy texture of cheese is softened by the sweetness of wine. This results in a pairing in which the flavors of wine and cheese are balanced and mutually enhanced.
