Decanting a young wine helps to improve its aromas and eliminate any olfactory discomfort associated with the reduction of red wines.

The advantages of decanting wine

To optimize the taste of young wine, decanting is an important step. It is recommended to do this about 2 hours before serving using a decanter with a wide base and flared neck to allow maximum oxygen to mix with the wine. The decanter must be shaken to activate the aeration.

We advise you to leave the decanter uncorked to allow the wine to breathe.

The benefits of decanting

Decanting an aged wine is a delicate operation that can improve the quality of your wine. Indeed, over the years, tannins and pigments can settle at the bottom of the bottle. To avoid serving this deposit with your wine, you can carefully decant your wine.

How do you decant an old wine to avoid any additional oxygen?

It is recommended to decant your wine with our decanter specially designed for professionals or for wine lovers.

Our glass decanter allows you to observe the entire decanting process. This gives you the opportunity to stop the transfer as soon as particles appear. Due to the rapid reaction of the wine with the ambient air, the bouquet and taste will evolve rapidly after transfer to the glasses.

How to properly cap the decanter after decanting to maintain the ideal temperature?

It is important to use either the original bottle stopper or a folded paper towel to seal the decanter. Place the carafe in a bucket filled with water cooled with ice cubes if necessary to maintain a stable temperature. Make sure the decanter is immersed to the height of the wine. Decanting is a key element in sommelier competitions, as it allows the wine to be tasted in the best conditions and creates a magical setting.

2 in 1 mill

We designed a mill by integrating several functions. Pepper mills and salt mills are generally differentiated by the shape of their mechanism: the salt mechanism is flat while the pepper mechanism is more voluminous. We have succeeded in coupling these two specific mechanisms in a single product.

A unique experience

To add a personal touch and bring a new dimension of flavor to your dishes, a pepper mill is the perfect tool. Freshly ground, the taste and aroma of the peppercorns are incomparable to the already ground peppercorns found in the bottle. Pepper is a wonderful spice that can add a distinct note to many dishes.

Grinding your salt will enhance your tasting experience.

Tips for optimal use

To fill your pepper and salt mill, you can use black, white or red peppercorns, or pink berries or coriander seeds. It is important to use only grains smaller than 6 mm in diameter.

We recommend using a 4 mm diameter salt. Our manual and electric mills are also suitable for grinding coarse dry kitchen salt, such as white salt, pink salt or Persian blue salt.

How to maintain your salt and pepper mill to ensure its longevity

It is not recommended to wash the mills in the dishwasher.

If your mill no longer grinds peppercorns efficiently, it may be due to a build-up of residue. It is important not to wash it with water as this can damage the mill and make it unusable.

To clean a pepper mill effectively, it is advisable to use a damp, white cloth. After cleaning, it is important to dry the mill well to avoid any traces of moisture. The internal mechanisms must never be immersed in water or wet in any way.

Tips for effective folding knives:

It is imperative that you close the folding knife gently to avoid damage to the blade. Knives should only be used for cutting. Any other use is not recommended and may void the warranty in case of damage.

Complete guide to cleaning your knife

To clean a folding knife, we encourage you to wipe it with a soft cloth. Natural materials used for the handle, such as horn or wood, can be affected by moisture. It is recommended to wipe the blade with a damp cloth, then wipe it with a dry cloth.

How to maintain your knife to ensure its longevity

To protect the appearance of a wooden knife, you can maintain it by regularly applying linseed oil. For horn knives, keep them in a dry place. To ensure the proper functioning of a knife, do not forget to add oil in the joint between the blade and the spring.

How to sharpen your knife for a perfect cut

To maintain the optimal sharpness of your blade, we strongly recommend using a natural stone for regular sharpening. Moisten the stone for 10 minutes, then maintain a sharpening angle of 20° by sliding the blade along the entire edge of the stone with constant pressure.
