Clean tortotx

  • With all the intention to appreciate it, he opened a bottle of cider, brought the glass to his nose and sucked the odor of the tortilla with the bottle closed, what hell!

The component that adds an unpleasant smell to torture to bring it to demons is called ACT (2,4,6-trichloroanisole), almost always. It is natural and can be found in water, coffee, fruits, vegetables, wood and soil.

Portugal is the
largest exporter of cork in the world and also the largest manufacturer of cork: Amorim. The company has patented a tortotxa that will not leave any odor to the beverage, according to the same source. (Ed. SustMeme)

Tortotxa or cork is the skin of the tortotxon or cork (Quercus suber), not in vain the tree is also called cork and cork oak. Portugal is the largest cork exporting country in the world, with a revealing figure: 1.2% of its exports are cork. This implies the conservation of one of the most representative trees of the landscape of their culture. The heart of the cork is located in the village of Santa Maria de Lamas. There is the most known space for the study and research of this skin: Cincork, as well as the world’s largest art company: Amorim. In particular, Amorim has developed and patented the dream of a machine: a cork that will not smell cork to drink. In the yoke of a Cambridge company in the United Kingdom, they have developed an advanced and, above all, rapid high precision chromatography technique: each cork is analysed individually in a few seconds and with the smallest trace of stench on the margin.

This house has set an incredible limit not to recognize the TCA that sucks cork to cider: 0.5 nanograms per litre, that is, one in every trillion, one drop in 800 Olympic pools. In addition to the first, Amorim will again be one of the arms of quality beverage bottlers.

Now that you're reactivating the tendency to create your own cider, the wooden barrels also come back, to see if someone puts these corks in by the smell and taste of cider.

Winning gentlemen

The day exceeds the night with the spring equinox. This year it happened on 20 March, at 22:59 hours, opening the door of the spring. The Eki prefix means the same thing. Until then the night had been longer. The day and night were twelve hours. Since then, the day is extended... [+]

Climate change and landscape

Time has been on our line for a long time, but the climate is relatively recent. There is no need to clarify too much what climate change is. Explaining what the landscape is is a redder necessity. Conferences, round tables or international conferences on climate change are... [+]

Cider women

It's time to pick up the fruits and get them on the way to the lagar. Pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus x domestica), grape (Vitis vinifera)... It seems a short and quick road, but you have to work a lot of rodeos and their variants until the fruit becomes must and must become... [+]

Eating everywhere

In the Basque Country, agriculture is the history of permanent colonization. Like everywhere. Before, the land was not cultivated; before, the harvest was not sown; you enjoyed what was not eaten before. They had brought it all from elsewhere. Many of these stories have been... [+]

Curve

Returning to the wines that are made with the crops, the left madreselva (Humulus lupulus) is conservative and bitter tasting aggregator. The union of crops and madreselvas produces many dirty jets, especially in beer countries. A friend has just explained to me the stories of... [+]

Madreselva

In our house we met him with the name of madreselva (Humulus lupulus). In fact, we have worked hard and sinister on the banks of the river in our country, coinciding with the expansion of beer. We've learned that it's also called lobster, beer, beer, wart and grass on the left... [+]

Spring has brought the issue to my nose. C. worked at various research centers in New York. Bushdid, M. Oh! Magnasco, L.B. Vosshall and A. An article published by scientists Keller in March 2014 in the prestigious “Science Magazine” produced a great stir. The title says it... [+]

Ice in the wood
Ice has done its own thing: evil. At the end of April there have been large white ice cream which has not been seen for a long time. A work of satin but in sight, without any shame: cunning. It has rained terribly in the south of Euskal Herria.

Fireflies home
We have started a beautiful month of May. By the time we realize, we are on the longest days of the year. They will then be the shortest nights of the year, but with a unique show. I don't mean those furious feasts that sanctify the feasts. Fireflies are quieter.

Sweating with sweat
Plants are a big wave or a bomb. Big trees, needless to say, it has. A beech (Fagus sylvatica) with a meter and a half of a caravan needs about 400 liters of water a day to contain the metabolism. It has to find 400 liters of water somewhere, it develops a huge substrate to find... [+]

Ciders and ferrets
Getozka is cosmopolitan, Portulaca oleracea. We have traveled the world, knowingly or in word, and in many places it lives well. It's Norwegian and ubiquitous. Like all we know, we don't know very well where it is from. When we talk about plants, we have a terrible trend: this is... [+]

On dried leaves
I have brought things from littering to paper and a reader told me how beneficial those dried leaves are to vegetarians; he was a Christian and said they were a “blessing.”
