This 50-year old Sherry vinegar is produced entirely in Jerez de la Frontera, in Andalusia, Spain. The ageing process is the “criaderas y soleras” method, which involves a system of casks (initially used to store wine) placed in a pyramid.

Read what the researchers of INRA-France have to say on the role of p erceptions of satiety and satisfaction : “ The sensory characteristics of foods contribute to both stimulating and inhibiting food intake… The pleasure of eating, rather than acting as a guide to help adjust food consumption, sometimes compromises the regulation of energy intake and weight control… The sensory pleasure of foods participates in determining meal size and stimulating food consumption through a variety of mechanisms. ” Therefore sensory analysis will increasingly become a tool in the design of dietary or food programs
