It makes sense that it would take one of the world's best chefs to deconstruct the cheese making process, flip it and reverse it. What else could we expect from avant-garde chef Andoni Luis Aduriz?
This fascinating cheese video depicts the making of a specialty cheese produced at his restaurant Mugaritz, which ranks fourth on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list sponsored by S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna.
The cheese is made with flax seeds and ripened in its own skin and infused with mushrooms and wild herbs. Flax seed, an ingredient not normally found in cheese was added to the mix because of the interesting texture it provides, the chef explained on the restaurant's blog:
''We discovered that the concentration of fibre in these seeds is so high, that many textures can be achieved by combining them with water or milk. The range of textures that can be created using flax seeds goes from light meringues to thick emulsions, from soft gels to cheese.''
The video portrays the entire cheese making process backwards. Judging by the looks of it, we can't wait to have a bite. Thanks Mugaritz for continuing to blow our minds with your creativity and thanks to Umami Video for creating the piece.
