At the extreme end of the wine and cheese pairing, we find this complex gastronomic art that consists of pairing chocolate and wine.
Two foods of similar composition, because they share a phytochemical called epicatechin, which in principle makes them move away from the saying that opposite poles attract.
However, the daring gastronomes have managed to pair these two flavors with more than surprising results for our brains.
The secret is very simple: the darker the chocolate, the darker the wine. In addition, there are some unavoidable requirements such as the high quality of the chocolate, to favor its weight in the mouth, as well as the importance of selecting a wine with structure.
It is also recommended to taste the two delicacies separately first. And once the chocolate is in the mouth, wait for it to melt on the tongue before tasting the wine.
According to King's College, this pairing has very beneficial health effects, particularly in the prevention of diabetes.
This is our selection of wine and chocolate experiences. Dare with this impossible wine pairing.
