The perfect drink for the perfect dish
Do you love cooking and entertaining, but you’re never sure what drink is best suited to certain dishes? We know how you feel – it can be pretty confusing, as there’s just so much choice!
Here at Fragata, we’d like to make it a little easier for you by giving you a nudge in the right direction, so hopefully when you are cooking one of our recipes, you won’t be stuck for too long in the supermarket wondering which bottle to choose!
We’ve spoken to the lovely people at Hidalgo who are a long established bodega (Spanish for winery) based in the coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Spain, and they’ve suggested several of their sherry ranges as the perfect accompaniment to our recipes.
Combining Fragata’s olives with a glass of Hidalgo sherry will just go that extra step to help you recreate the flavours of Spain in your own home.
Here’s what we recommend at the perfect accompaniment to our dishes:
Abby’s Olive, Chorizo & Pancetta Pizza – Amontillado Napoleón (A delicious, dry taste which is bursting with baked orange and walnut aromas)
Darren’s Olive Bread Swirls – Manzanilla La Gitana (a light and refreshing taste, with an aroma that is almost salty, hinting at the smell of a sea breeze)
Jenny and Jan’s Spanish Black Olive & Feta Cheese Stuffed Filo Parcels – Pasada Pastrana Manzanilla (a drink with an aroma of roasted nuts lead to a minerally palate with great substance)
Catherine’s Salmon & Olive Tapenade in Puff Pastry – Amontillado Napoleón (A delicious, dry taste which is bursting with baked orange and walnut aromas)
Shenna’s Mediterranean Chicken – Pasada Pastrana Manzanilla (a drink with an aroma of roasted nuts lead to a minerally palate with great substance)
Finlay’s Olive Hedgehog breads – La Gitana (a light and refreshing taste, with an aroma that is almost salty, hinting at the smell of a sea breeze)
Barry’s Cheese, Ham & Olive loaf – Amontillado Napoleón (A delicious, dry taste which is bursting with baked orange and walnut aromas)
