Wasabi Flavoured Oil
The medicinal properties of wasabi have been used since the 10th century in traditional Japanese medicine. It is believed that wasabi works as an antidote against food poisoning; a very useful property if raw fish is eaten. Apparently, wasabi also has anti-carcinogenic properties. Moreover,it prevents platelet aggregation, bronchial asthma and tooth decay.
GASTRONOMIC ADVICE:
By Alejandro del Toro [Michelín Star Chef]
Aroma: Quick and strong aromatic power due to the wasabi root’s retro-nasal properties. Spicy with green notes. Incredibly tasteful to the nose, it transports us immediately to a sushi or sashimi dish.
Nose conclusion: Fresh, spicy and green notes, reminiscence of Japan.
Taste: A sudden memory of Japanese cuisine appears as soon as the passage through the mouth begins. Spices up as soon as we allow air in the mouth, but the spiciness is found more in the nose than in the tongue. A certain herbal aroma is detected, but covered up by the retro-nasal spiciness. The olive oil helps to give a round sensation in the mouth, just like when wasabi is used with tuna.
Taste conclusion: Intense spicy aroma.
Ideal with: Raw fish. Tuna belly tartar. Ox meat. Meringued milk with lemon marmalade and Daikon. Boiled White fish.
