Horchata Flavoured Oil
The Horchata drink, derived from Valencian tigernuts has digestive properties and essential aminoacids such as arginine. It is rich in minerals like Potassium and Iron and also contains unsaturated fats and proteins. Its properties are similar to those of extra virgin olive oil, by helping to reduce cholesterol and triglycerids, given its contents of 77% of oleic acid.
GASTRONOMIC ADVICE:
By Alejandro del Toro [Michelín Star Chef]
Aroma: Great scents of a typical Valencian drink, ‘horchata’, with notes of cinnamon, lemon, hazelnuts, tigernuts, toasted dried fruits, moisture/humidity and earth sensations.
Nose conclusion: Citric, sweet, hazelnut, cinnamon. Fresh, fruity, toasted.
Taste: Intense sweet aroma of ‘horchata’ that persists 7 to 8 seconds in the mouth. At first, the sense is that of tasting a dessert, but this sensation is changed once no added sugar is detected. The olive oil texture is mixed with that of the dried fruits essential oil and the citric from the lemon.
Taste conclusion: Intense hazelnut and lemon aromas with a persistence of cinnamon.
Ideal with: ‘Ajo blanco de horchata’ with Guirardeau oysters. ‘Dulce de leche’ with horchata.
