A Look Back at Noma Mexico in Pics

The hugely successful Noma Pop Up in Mexico has come to an end with critics across the globe all lashing praise on Rene Redzepi’s latest project.

The dinner, which took place in Tulum, sold out in hours when it was posted online with people travelling from all over the world to dine on the Noma team’s take on Mexican cuisine.

Tacos, masa miso, mango kombucha and Mezcal all featured on the menu, a menu so widely popular that the New York Time’s critic Pete Wells had to write a review about why he wasn’t writing a review.

To mark the end of the project, the Noma crew will now head home to Copenhagen to begin working on Noma.2, we’ve decided to take a look back at some of the delicious Noma Mexico food porn of Instagram.

Here you can see the process behind one of our ferments for #NomaMexico: Masa miso. Clockwise from the top we have the nixtamalized corn (a process used in Mexico where corn is cooked in an alkaline solution) that is ground into masa and blended with salt and rice koji. After fermenting for about 12 weeks, the result is the most deeply floral miso our fermentation lab has ever produced!
