Description
Medium Sherry is a type of fortified wine originating from the Jerez de la Frontera region in Andalusia, Spain. It is characterized by its balanced flavor and versatility, falling between dry sherries and the sweeter ones, making it an ideal ingredient both for cooking and for pairing.
In cooking, medium sherry contributes complex aromatic notes, with hints of nuts, hazelnuts, and a slightly sweet touch, which enhances dishes of meats, fish, sauces, and desserts.
In addition to its culinary use, this type of sherry possesses properties such as a moderate alcohol content and antioxidants inherent to wine, which help to enhance flavor and preserve food in some preparations.
In different Latin American countries, medium sherry may be found under names such as semi-dry sherry wine or simply semi-sweet sherry, although the term "sherry" is generally recognized in gastronomy to refer to these specific fortified wines.
