Pairing Oloroso with food

De ideale temperatuur waarin je Oloroso kunt schenken is tussen 12 en 14ºC.

De wijn is een prima begeleider voor rood vlees en fazant.Het is perfecte combinatie voor stoofschotels en casseroles; met name gelatine-achtig vlees zoals ossestaart of varkenswangen.

Maar de Oloroso is ook de perfecte combinatie met wilde paddenstoelen en gerijpte kazen.
