Mesures techniques
Aging Process
Sherry undergoes a unique 'solera' system for fractional blending, ensuring consistency and complexity across vintages.
Storage After Opening
Store opened dry sherries in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; sweeter sherries can last longer, up to 3-4 weeks.
Usage in Cooking
Dry sherries (Fino, Manzanilla) are excellent for deglazing pans or adding savory depth to soups and stews.
