Discovering Delectable Delights: Why You Should Read 'Indulge in a Whole New World of Taste with Kiva Confections: The Ultimate Guide to Kiva Edibles and Chocolate'

BODY. Curvaceous or sporty. I like both, mood dependant. 'Body' is possibly the most sensory element when discussing the structure of a wine. We can physically measure sweetness, acidity, and alcohol, even tannins to an extent, but describing 'body' is the most personal of them all. Even WSET describe it as 'the feel' of the wine in your mouth. Helpful. However, there are some contributing factors which can help in understanding. As an everyday example, think of full-cream milk compared to skimmed. It's heavier and rounder on the palate. In wine, the ‘fat’ is supplied by alcohol (more = more), tannin (more = more) and extract, best described as the density of flavour. A bit like the last press from a cafetiere. High sugar levels (like you’d find in pudding wines) also make a wine feel more viscous, more full-bodied. By contrast, high acidity will make wine feel lighter in body, so it’s really a balancing act, a sum of all parts, but also a personal interpretation that will arguably always 'feel' different from one person to the next.

This is when you feel you are doing something right, comparing our Black cumin extract on the left with a competitor’s. With our no excipient extract, the color, aroma, and taste is much more intense than the other. #botanicalextracts #blackcumin #noexcipients

🍍 Enhance Your Pineapple Experience 🍍 Did you know that putting a pinch of salt on a pineapple slice can make it taste sweeter? 🧂🍍Why Salt on Pineapple Works: 👉Reduces Acidity: Salt helps to neutralize the pineapple's natural acidity, making it less sharp and more palatable. 👉Enhances Sweetness: By reducing the acidic taste, the natural sweetness of the pineapple becomes more pronounced. 👉Balances Flavors: A small amount of salt can balance the flavors, creating a more enjoyable and complex taste profile.

Just like coffee, tea comprises of numerous volatile compounds that enrich its aroma and lend complexity to its taste. Beyond the caffeine that invigorates the mind, tea boasts theanine, an exclusive amino acid known for triggering dopamine production, thereby enhancing relaxation. But what truly distinguishes green, white, and black tea? It all boils down to their unique processing methods! Green tea leaves are quickly heated after harvesting to prevent oxidation. This preserves the green color and delivers a fresh, slightly grassy flavor, rich in antioxidants like catechins. White tea is made from the young leaves and buds that are gently dried. This results in a delicate flavor and aroma, and a pale color. Its antioxidant content is considered higher than in green tea due to its minimal processing. Black tea is fully oxidized, undergoing a process to expose its enzymes to air, resulting in a deep, rich color. This process also converts catechins into theaflavins, giving black tea its distinct, robust taste. #synthesis #tea #antonpaar

Ever wondered how brandy gets its unique taste? Here's a quick overview of the key elements that give brandy its flavour:    🛢️ Barrels: They act as both container and flavour agent, influencing brandy with lignins, tannins, and vanillin     🌬️ Oxidation: As brandy ages, oxidation creates ethanal, taming harsh alcohol notes and introducing fruity, floral aromas      🎨 Esters: Born from alcohol and acids, they contribute to delightful floral and fruity notes. Over time, esters change, enhancing brandy's flavour     🌡️ Environment: Temperature and humidity impact the aging process, with higher temperatures speeding it up and humidity affecting the evaporation rate    In the world of brandy, aging isn't just about time passing by. It's a process where chemical reactions work their magic, turning a distillate into a sophisticated and refined spirit.    Read more about it here! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dyJsBsys
