The beer of Barcelona, Estrella Damm, has brought the world\u2019s top chef and its own legendary \u201cGastronomic Experience\u201d for the first time to Scotland.<\/p>\n

This continues Estrella Damm\u2019s championing of the world of gastronomy and of beer\u2019s place as a beverage of choice across such a multiplicity of foods and dishes.<\/p>\n

Estrella Damm\u2019s close supporter, Joan Roca, Chef\/Proprietor of El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain, showcased his gastronomic delights to over a hundred of Scotland\u2019s top chefs, restaurateurs and food experts at Colstoun House by Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

Chef Roca is known for linking traditional cuisine with avant-garde techniques. In 2013 and 2015, his restaurant El Celler de Can Roca was voted No.1 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, and in 2016 his chef-peers named him winner of the Chefs\u2019 Choice Award.<\/p>\n

This is the first time that Estrella Damm\u2019s \u201cGastronomic Experience\u201d has come to Scotland.<\/p>\n

The event has been inspired by its Gastronomy Congresses, a concept invented by Estrella Damm to bring together many of the world\u2019s best chefs to experience demonstrations and discussions around food. They have previously taken place in Miami, Lisbon, Melbourne and London.<\/p>\n

Chef Roca was joined at Colstoun House by his sous chef Ignasi Baucells and showcased a range of inspired dishes, using an array of exciting ingredients, the majority sourced in Scotland. These included:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Langoustine with sagebrush, vanilla oil and toasted butter
\n\u2022 Sardines with aromas of Amontillado sherry
\n\u2022 Green coconut and Scottish \u2018calamari\u2019
\n\u2022 Royal grouse in an Estrella Damm sauce
\n\u2022 Whisky Beef Fillet
\n\u2022 Oysters Albari\u00f1o<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To this day, Estrella Damm is brewed in Barcelona using the original 1876 recipe and 100% local Mediterranean ingredients: barley malt, rice and hops. The quality of its ingredients is of the utmost importance, all of them chosen, and transformed for brewing, to ensure the true, pure Mediterranean taste of Estrella Damm \u2013 a great partner for Chef Roca\u2019s dishes.<\/p>\n

James Heath, Estrella Damm\u2019s Regional Manager for Scotland and Northern Ireland comments:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Scottish food scene is thriving, with so many hyper-creative chefs using the fresh produce from their local sea and land to amazing effect.\u00a0 So, we were very excited to bring our \u201cGastronomic Experience\u201d to Scotland.<\/p>\n

\u201c These events are a one-of-a-kind experience for top people from the food industry. This was the first time we have organised such an event here and it was inspiring to see the incredible produce that is available locally. Scotland is a very important market for us as high-end gastronomy is thriving with more and more top end restaurants being recognised in Scotland.\u201d<\/p>\n
