Friday, May 12, 2023 – “THEY DON’T GIVE YOU LA WITH CHEESE”

This Spanish expression has its origin when merchants of dubious or low quality wines, or even chopped ones, offered buyers a cheese cover to accompany the wine tasting. The flavor of the cheese managed to disguise the flaws of the wine and the buyers left satisfied with this pairing. Over time this expression has become ingrained as a warning not to be deceived and to be forewarned.

Nowadays there is a widespread opinion that wines are of good quality, and cheese is usually one of the favorite foods to accompany a glass of wine.

We propose a pairing of cheeses with wines to enjoy to the maximum this combination so rooted in our culture. We will discover the general characteristics of the cheeses that will allow us to choose the most suitable wine to pair with each of them. We will also introduce you to different types of wine to find out which cheese is the most suitable.

We invite you to enjoy a great experience with 5 wines and a careful selection of cheeses.
