Wat een fantastische service. Ik heb enkele relatiegeschenken besteld en een daarvan naar mijzelf laten sturen om te ervaren hoe het pakket eruit ziet. Er ontbrak iets, maar dat bleek mijn eigen fout te zijn geweest. Bij de bestelling heb ik dit over het hoofd gezien.Hoewel de andere pakketten al ingepakt klaar stonden voor verzending, zijn deze in overleg met Jurien aangepast en alsnog verzonden zoals ik ze graag had gewild.Dit geeft aan dat Food & Wood de klanten echt belangrijk vindt. Dank daarvoor.

Pamela thought extensively in advance so that she was perfectly prepared. The quality of both the service and the food was very good! For our wedding we had delicious and beautifully decorated drinks boards, exactly according to our wishes! We also asked if Food & Wood would also like to take care of the layout of our cake table. This was also very well done! Afterwards they neatly packed all the leftovers so that we could enjoy them in the evening, perfect! Unfortunately, we do not (yet) have a photo of the snacks when they were served, only of the neatly served leftovers and the cake table.

Great company, the delivery person reported twice that no one was home (without having been there) and the package was returned to sender. Food & Wood immediately sent another new package and luckily the delivery person came by. Thanks to Food & Wood's quick action, I still received the birthday gift on time. Really great service! Can recommend Food & Wood to everyone.

I gave the Primavera Borrelplank to my sister and her boyfriend, including the free Pinot Grigio wine that they received for free with the monthly promotion and they loved it. The description was ideal for putting the shelf together! :D

Last week was the national Week without Meat and of course we as an organization also participated in it. For example, colleagues could participate in an acquaintance Quiz and have a chance to win a vegetarian drinks box. In the end we had drawn 6 lucky winners. Pamela is happy to think along with you about possibilities and is very service-oriented. I can definitely recommend the drinks box. It was really a gift for my colleagues.

Ik ben op en top tevreden met Food & Wood, fantastische ervaring. Pamela heeft een prachtige grazing table voor onze intieme bruiloftsreceptie neergezet. De gasten waren erg onder de indruk. Ze durfde het eten bijna niet aan te raken, zo’n plaatje was het. Het eten was niet alleen mooi gepresenteerd, maar was ook heerlijk. Iedereen kwam al naar me toelopen voor Pamela’s info.Al met al, zeer tevreden dus!

Grazing Table Catering

Are you familiar with the buffet revolution worldwide: the grazing table? A grazing table is actually an extensive drinks board, but in the size of a complete table! It is a completely new experience, far removed from the traditional buffet as we know it in the Netherlands. It offers so much more and always has something for everyone (Yes, we dare to claim that!).

Did you know that Prosecco was the second most consumed sparkling wine in the world in 2021, just behind Champagne? This surprising statistic shows just how popular this sparkling wine has become. In this blog post, we will take you on a journey into the world of Prosecco, specifically the different options that Food and Wood has to offer. We understand that sometimes it can be overwhelming to make the right choice, especially when you are looking for the perfect gift. That is why we will explain the unique characteristics of Prosecco and the varieties available at Food and Wood, so that you can make your choice with confidence. Let’s begin this sparkling journey together!

What is Prosecco?

Prosecco is a popular sparkling wine that originated in Italy, specifically the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions. Due to its refreshing taste and effervescent character, Prosecco has gained popularity worldwide as a favorite choice for both festive occasions and informal gatherings.

Origin of Prosecco

The origins of Prosecco date back to Roman times, when the grapes were grown in the hilly areas around the town of Conegliano. The name “Prosecco” originally referred to a small village near Trieste. In modern times, Prosecco was developed as a sparkling wine, with the Charmat method, where the second fermentation takes place in a large tank, being the most widely used method. This preserves the fresh, fruity flavors of the grapes that are characteristic of Prosecco.

Main Grape Varieties

Prosecco is made primarily from the Glera grape, but there are other grape varieties that can be used in smaller quantities. Some of the main grapes are:

  • Glera: The main grape for Prosecco, it offers a fresh, fruity taste with notes of pear and green apple.
  • Verdiso: Contributes to the aromatic facets of the wine.
  • White Trevigiana: Adds structure and complexity to the blend.
  • Perera: Can add a hint of extra sweetness and aroma to the wine.

Distinction between Prosecco and other Sparkling Wines

Prosecco differs from other sparkling wines such as Champagne and Cava in several ways:

Feature Prosecco Champagne Cava
Origin Italy (Veneto, Friuli) France (Champagne) Spain (Catalonia)
Grape varieties Mainly Glera Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel·lo
Production method Charmat Method Champagne method Traditional method
Flavor profile Fresh, fruity, floral Complex, rich, with nuances Earthy, with an oily texture
Sweetness level Brut, Extra Dry, Dry Mostly Brut Brut, Semi-Seco

Styles of Prosecco

Prosecco comes in different styles depending on sweetness and production method. The most common styles are:

  • Brut: This style is the driest of the three, with a sweetness level of up to 12 grams of residual sugar per liter. Examples include Valdo Prosecco Brut and Santa Margherita Prosecco Brut, which emphasize the fresh taste of Glera grapes.
  • Extra Dry: Despite the name, this style is slightly sweeter than brut, with 12-17 grams of residual sugar per liter. A well-known example is La Marca Prosecco Extra Dry, which contains fruity notes of peach and apricot.
  • Dry: This is the sweetest variety and contains 17-32 grams of residual sugar per liter. A good example is Ruffino Prosecco Dry, which offers a slightly sweeter and milder taste experience.

Prosecco in Practice

Prosecco is versatile and can be enjoyed perfectly as an aperitif, but also as an accompaniment to various dishes. Its fresh and fruity notes make it an excellent accompaniment to salads, pasta dishes and light seafood.

Here are some practical tips to get the most out of your Prosecco experience:

  • Serving Temperature: Prosecco is best enjoyed when well chilled, ideally between 6-8 degrees Celsius.
  • Glass choice: Use a wide glass or a flute to allow the aromas and bubbles to develop optimally.
  • Nutrition Combination: Prosecco goes great with antipasti, sushi and even spicy dishes, making it a very versatile choice for any occasion.

With this information about Prosecco, you will be better able to appreciate the unique characteristics and versatility of this popular sparkling wine.
