風味零件
Flavor Components
透過料理實驗,突破食材原本的使用方式
成為能協助廚師快速出餐、提升效率
創造更多料理可能性的「風味零件」
FoodSeason食時可樂策展團隊以擅長的食材選用,協同專業料理創作者放大食材價值。運用不同的料理手法,使用熬煮、醃漬、發酵、濃縮、浸泡等方式,讓食材轉化成風味鮮明、能快速應用的「風味零件」。這些「風味零件」不只是單一的食材或半成品,而是能被靈活組合、延伸的料理元素,例如一罐風味糖漿,加上氣泡水即可成為特色飲品;一份醃漬物,則能搭配肉品、海鮮或沙拉,為料理增加酸度、香氣與層次,讓食材突破原本的使用方式,成為能協助廚師快速出餐、提升效率,同時創造更多料理可能性。
FoodSeason curation team brings out the best in ingredients through thoughtful selection and collaboration with professional culinary creators. Using techniques such as simmering, pickling, fermentation, reduction, and infusion, we transform ingredients into flavorful and easy-to-use “Flavor Components.”
More than just ingredients or semi-finished products, these Flavor Components are flexible building blocks that can be easily combined and adapted. For example, a flavored syrup can be mixed with sparkling water to create a signature drink, while pickled ingredients can be paired with meat, seafood, or salads to add acidity, aroma, and depth. By giving ingredients new possibilities, Flavor Components help chefs save time, work more efficiently, and create more dishes with greater ease.
Project 001
「發酵糖漿」是以水果、蔬菜、香料等天然食材為基礎,特別選用易溶解及品質佳的「日本上白糖」為媒介,過程中不添加任何酵母,只透過空氣中看不見的菌種自然發酵。製程初期不額外添加水,也不經加熱,而是利用糖與食材之間的滲透作用,使食材中的水分與風味逐步釋出。並經由專業的「手釀師」適時進行攪拌調整與判斷,使其達到理想狀態。可以加入氣泡水製成日常飲品,也能延伸至調酒與料理。
Fermented syrup is made from natural ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, and spices, using high-quality Japanese white sugar , selected for its excellent solubility, as the fermentation medium. No yeast is added during the process. Instead, the ingredients undergo natural fermentation through microorganisms present in the air. Throughout the process, skilled fermentation artisans carefully monitor, stir, adjust, and assess the mixture at the appropriate stages to achieve the desired result.
註:世界各地均有發酵文化,在傳統釀造中,人是不可獲缺的助力,製程中需要透過雙手攪拌,觀察香氣、色澤、氣泡與質地的變化,再依照當下的狀態做出判斷,這位重要的角色,稱之為「手釀師」。
Project 002
「鹽」在料理中是不可或缺的角色,除了可用來提升食材的鮮甜,使整體味道更加均衡,也能用來醃製、改變食物口感等功用,而「香料」同樣在料理上也是美味的關鍵點。香料均擁有獨特且強烈的辨識度,取自其磨製後自帶的天然香氣,並使用「日曬鹽之花」混合調製不同天然風味鹽,當與不同的料理碰撞時,風味鹽更能讓料理產生豐富的層次,增添味覺與視覺效果。
“Salt” plays an indispensable role in cooking. Beyond enhancing the natural sweetness of ingredients and bringing greater balance to a dish, it can also be used for curing and transforming texture. Likewise, “spices” are a key element in creating delicious and distinctive flavors. Each spice has its own unique and recognizable character, releasing its natural aroma when freshly ground. Blended with naturally sun-dried fleur de sel, these spices are crafted into a range of natural flavored salts. When paired with different dishes, the flavored salts add layers of complexity, enhancing both the flavor and visual appeal of each creation.
註:鹽之花為漂浮在結晶池鹽滷表層凝固的結晶鹽,顆粒輕薄如同雪花細緻,產量稀少,於春季後手工採收。
