Oyster & Champagne: Best Match
In a recent publication in Nature Scientific Reports, Professor Ole Mouritsen and lead author Charlotte Vinther Schmidt unveil the first scientific exploration into the harmonious synergy between oysters and champagne. Contrary to conventional wisdom associating umami with meat, Professor Mouritsen identifies the umami taste in both oysters and champagne as the secret behind their delightful pairing. Umami, recognized as savoriness, emerges as a fundamental flavor alongside sweet, salty, bitter, and sour.
The study further elucidates the chemical collaboration in champagne and oysters that ignites an “umami synergy,” significantly enhancing the champagne’s taste. Charlotte Vinther Schmidt emphasizes the role of champagne’s acidity and bubbles in contributing to the overall impression. Professor Mouritsen recommends older vintage champagnes, rich in dead yeast cells, for their superior umami flavor, while the umami in oysters is attributed to their muscular composition.

What our customers say
Un tour de tapas increíble al 100% en Barcelona. Reservamos la experiencia del Tapas Tour con esta empresa, y no podría haber sido mejor. Nos llevaron a lugares lejos de las zonas turísticas abarrotadas, y todos los bares que visitamos eran muy especiales y auténticos. La calidad de las tapas nos sorprendió. Lo que más nos gustó fue el guía; terminamos siendo amigos y intercambiando números de teléfono. Muy recomendado. 100%
¡Ha sido un viaje fantástico! La pasión expresada por los colaboradores que has elegido ha sido increíble, ¡y eso genera una sensación general de placer durante todo el viaje! ¡GRACIAS!
Reservamos un tour privado de tapas y disfrutamos cada momento. Diego se ocupó excelentemente de nosotros, y tuvimos la oportunidad de probar tapas y vinos exquisitos. Fue tan fantástico que también programamos una visita a una bodega con ellos. Nos llevaron a una magnífica bodega donde tuvimos un tour memorable con una degustación guiada acompañada de un delicioso almuerzo solo para nosotros.
