The Botelo beyond the traditional elaboration

The Botelo beyond the traditional elaboration

The cook and blogger Rocío Garrido offered at the “Obradoiro de Pinchos de Botelo” ideas for eating botelo in a different way than the traditional one. The workshop was launched on the afternoon of Monday 18 January with the collaboration of Restaurante Piquiño which offered its facilities and the wineries: Godeval, Eladio Santalla Paradelo, Roandi and Cooperativa Jésús Nazareno which contributed the wines for subsequent harmonization with the prepared dishes.

Preparando os pratos

Twenty people, including hoteliers and fans, took part in this activity in which they learned live how to make 4 bottle skewers and then tasted them with the wines following the explanations of sommelier Jorge Cardoso. The attendees gave their opinions on each dish and were also surprised by the harmonies between them.
