What are fermentation and enzymatic processes?
Fermentation and enzymatic processes are ancient techniques that have been perfected and adopted by haute cuisine to create complex flavours and unique textures.
Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugars into acids, gases or alcohol through the action of microorganisms such as bacteria and yeasts.
Enzymatic processes, on the other hand, use enzymes to accelerate chemical reactions that transform ingredients, giving rise to new textures and flavours.
These techniques are essential for the production of a wide variety of products, from fermented foods to advanced applications in technical cooking and cocktail making.
