Gourmet is a concept meaning a more elaborate cooking style, marked by refinement and uniqueness, which meets all sensory demands. Today, people seek further the gourmet experience.
A apresentação de um prato ou bebida with a gourmet touch is distinguished by refined taste and the superior quality dos ingredientes utilizados. Associada a uma ideia de ?alta cozinha?, a expressão with a gourmet touch está ligada a uma culture and art diferenciadoras da culinária comum.
A gourmet culture and concept
Increasingly appreciated gourmet culture hits the food market with exquisite and high-quality products, associating them with a high cost. However, this is a wrong idea, as the higher quality of a gourmet product does not necessarily imply an increase in value.
Com a valorização desta cultura, sentiu-se a necessidade de testar a capacidade do mundo gastronómico através de concursos, onde são apresentados os melhores pratos e bebidas with a gourmet touch. Assim, entre vários concursos, nasce o Michelin Guide Gala ? conceituado Livro Gastronómico que atribui, no máximo, três Estrelas Michelin aos melhores restaurants de cada país.
Integrated into the essence of culinary excellence, gourmet is a concept that has been evolving into other means in different languages. For example, gourmet is an adjective for an advanced gastronomy enthusiast with a refined palate.
O que não é do conhecimento de todos é o facto do significado original deste termo francês remeter para um entendedor de bebidas, iguarias e, especialmente, vinhos.
Also linked to this term are the concepts "gourmands" (French term) and "foodies" (English term) - both to define food lovers without any specific knowledge of the subject.
"Foodies" are the ones who enjoy all kinds of dishes, regardless of the place where the tasting takes place. "Gourmands", on the other hand, are people who assume a position linked to more refined dishes with refined flavours. They set a high standard even in the restaurants they visit, looking for restaurants that have won awards in the most famous gastronomic competitions, such as the Michelin Guide.
