  • Overview

    This course presents a practical and technical approach based on understanding the direct relationship and reactions between components, flavors, and textures. This approach uses sensory analysis to help the student identify key elements that affect pairings. Concrete examples include food analysis and tasting notes. Dedicated dishes, ingredients, and flavorings will be paired with wine in order to understand the interaction between these elements. The direct food and wine pairing analysis will also culminate in a complete gastronomical, regional, and cultural context evaluation. Wines from the New and the Old World, paired with food, will offer students a real perspective of the concept of identity in the world of gastronomy.
