08 mar TAVOLA

The Golden Tavola competition awarded prizes to DRINK iT FReSH, Food Revolution by Didess (2x) and Little Cheese Farm

What do today's conscious consumers want on their plate? This is a very interesting question, to say the least, but one that is not so easy to answer. Veggie, vegan, local and organic food, clean label, allergen free... all of these are no longer fads, but trends that are here to stay and that producers should definitely not ignore. What is certain is that producers are taking critical consumers into account. After all, these people are now more involved than ever in the development and production processes of (new and existing) products. And this was clearly shown by the entries for the Golden Tavola 2022 competition.

Cuines, 33 combines the original Portuguese Parus White with lacquered streaky bacon and lobster

"Unique monocépage of the Antão Vaz grape brings elegance to the dish"

Herdade da Comporta is a beautiful farm on the southwest coast of Portugal. This magnificent nature area is surrounded by sea, island and rice fields creates, among other things, beautiful wines. The wines of Herdade da Comporta are produced in the wild beauty of nature and the tranquility of the estate. The sandy soil and the unique climate of the region, tempered by the proximity of the ocean, form the perfect environment for the cultivation of wine grapes. The grape varieties - such as Aragonez and Trincadeira for red wine and Arinto and Antão Vaz for white wine - are grown on around 35 hectares and treated with the utmost respect. Dolce presented one of the wines to restaurant Cuines, 33 from Knokke, namely Parus White: an elegant and unique wine, but with sufficient body.
