Charles covers what wine will best compliment each course of a great summer meal, including a great wine partner for a chocolate desert.
He was working with Discover the Origin, a European Union campaign designed to raise awareness around five Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) products:
- Burgundy Wines
- Parma Ham
- Douro Wines
- Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
- Port
Discover the Origin Campaign spokesperson says: “The Cheshire Foodies Festival offers a wonderful opportunity to interact with consumers who are keen to discover our products and learn more about the notion of provenance. This year we are excited to have one of the UK’s biggest name in food and wine to talk about the Discover the Origin products, provide tips on best ways to fully enjoy them and highlight what makes them so special.”
Trained professionals were on hand to demonstrate the finesse required to skilfully slice Parma Ham as well as the authentic way to cut Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese.
