Mastering the Art of Pairing: Adagio’s Salumi with Boutique Spirits

The Elegant Dance of Spirits and Salumi

Welcome to a world where the delicate textures of artisanal salumi meet the bold characters of boutique spirits. This guide is crafted to help chefs and restaurateurs transform simple meals into extraordinary dining experiences by pairing Adagio’s finest salumi with carefully selected boutique spirits.

Discover's Adagio's Salumi Range

Adagio Salumi’s selection offers a palette of flavors that are as diverse as they are rich, making them perfect candidates for spirit pairings:

  • Classic Prosciutto: Ideal for lighter, floral spirits.
  • Spicy 'Nduja: A fiery match for robust whiskies or rum.
  • Rich Soppressata: Complements aged spirits like bourbon.

The Art of Pairing

  • Light Spirits: Enhance the flavor of mild salumi with gin or vodka, allowing the subtle meat flavors to shine alongside herbal or citrus notes.
  • Aged Spirits: Bold salumi like 'Nduja pairs wonderfully with the deep, smoky notes of an aged Scotch or rich bourbon.
  • Cocktail Inspirations: Introduce salumi-infused cocktails, such as a Soppressata Bloody Mary or a Prosciutto-wrapped Melon Martini.

Crafting The Menu

Incorporate these pairings into your menu by balancing the intensity of the spirits with the richness of the salumi, ensuring a harmonious progression throughout the dining experience.
