What is vermouth?<\/strong> El vermut \u00e9s un vi macerat amb herbes arom\u00e0tiques i esp\u00e8cies al qual se li afegeix alcohol v\u00ednic. Generalment, aquesta beguda alcoh\u00f2lica s’associa amb l’aperitiu, ja que \u00e9s freq\u00fcent trobar-hi una ampolla a la taula en aquesta mena de menjars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History of Vermouth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abans d’endinsar-nos a con\u00e8ixer que \u00e9s el vermut, et volem explicar la seva hist\u00f2ria. Es diu que en l’antiga Gr\u00e8cia un fil\u00f2sof i metge anomenat Hip\u00f2crates va tenir la idea de posar a macerar vi amb flors d’absenta i fulles de dictam, i gr\u00e0cies al seu vermut casol\u00e0 va sorgir aquest vi aromatitzat que coneixem avui dia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, as happens with everything, this drink evolved over the years up to the present day. It was also influenced by various cultures, thus creating the different types of vermouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Composition of vermouth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Com b\u00e9 hem esmentat abans, aquesta beguda es destaca per ser aromatitzada amb absenta seca i dictam. Per una banda, l’absenta \u00e9s aquest component que li d\u00f3na un toc amarg al vermut, ja que \u00e9s una planta arom\u00e0tica molt amarga. D’altra banda, el dictam tracta d’una herba medicinal que antigament s\u2019utilitzava com a ant\u00eddot per a diferents verins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun fact: What does vermouth mean? Its name comes from one of its ingredients, wormwood, whose Germanic word is \u00abwermut\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is black vermouth?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seguint la traject\u00f2ria del vermut ens trobem a It\u00e0lia, on un taverner de Tor\u00ed va donar lloc a aquest color carmel afegint a la maceraci\u00f3 d’aquest vi la pell de taronja i canyella. D’aquesta manera \u00e9s com van comen\u00e7ar a n\u00e9ixer diferents marques conegudes com Martini i Cinzano que van fer d’aquesta beguda un producte per a comerciar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is white vermouth?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per a saber que \u00e9s el vermut blanc nom\u00e9s cal seguir la seva hist\u00f2ria. Un temps despr\u00e9s del vermut itali\u00e0 aquest va viatjar fins a Fran\u00e7a, lloc en el qual es va comen\u00e7ar a produir amb un color diferent, el blanc. Per aquesta ra\u00f3, durant una \u00e8poca se l’associava el vermut negre a It\u00e0lia i el blanc a Fran\u00e7a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did vermouth originate in Spain?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Es diu que els principis del vermut a Espanya daten en el 1870 a la ciutat de Reus, lloc dels destil\u00b7lats. En aquests temps era freq\u00fcent el transport de mercaderies amb vaixell per les rutes del mediterrani, gr\u00e0cies a l’alta circulaci\u00f3 es venia el fam\u00f3s aiguardent de Reus, a trav\u00e9s del port de Salou, situat a 10 km de la ciutat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years later, Catalonia was already a great wine power, standing out for the white wines from the Camp de Tarragona area. Although there was a great variety of drinks, vermouth was one of the last to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, among other well-known brands, we can highlight the appearance of Yzaguirre vermouth in 1884 and that of Joan Gili in 1892 in Reus. Although today there is a wide variety of producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is vermouth drunk?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This alcoholic drink is usually served in a glass associated specifically with it, although it's no problem if you don't have one. Ice and some citrus are usually added to achieve a certain freshness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
