Food tasting conceived as a show

WELCOME TO MEMSISURT The founders of MemSiSurt (MSS) are Nono Martinez (Bachelors Degree in International Hotel Management and gastronomic researcher) and J. Abraham Artigas (cook and gastronomic researcher). Later, the company CBBA (Balearic Centre of Applied Biology, www.cbba-online.com) and Agust Sol (biochemist, with more than 20 years devoted to gastronomic R&D&I) joined the project. MSS was born at the end of 2008. They are based in Parc Bit, in Palma de Majorca and have research and innovation in the field of gastronomy as their main objectives, as well as the application of their research by means of its branch MSS CATERING, dedicated to service companies and individuals, offering an innovative, original supply for catering. MSS collaborates with other private companies and official organisms in different innovation and development projects. The main project is being developed along with CBBA (Balearic Centre of Applied Biology), that subsidizes a part of the project through a regional announcement from the Balearic Main Directorate of R&D. The objective of this project is the use of jellyfish as food, transforming it into several products such as liquors, flour, cake, ice cream, and so on. This research has brought about a project agreement supported by the Main Directorate of R&D&I. This Directorate also contributes with a research group of the UIB, the Fundaci Alicia (Alimentaci i Cincia; www.alimentacioiciencia.org) and Carme Ruscalleda, (the only female cook with 5 Michelin stars in the world: ( www.ruscalleda.com). The aim is to continue researching to develop food using the Mediterranean jellyfish as the basis, and to be able to legalize these products in the EU, since there is a legal gap on this species. www.memsisurt.es/www.saborsdesaterra.es PAG.3 One of the MSS projects that has led to a product which is about to be on sale soon is Sabors de Sa Terra, (www.saborsdesaterra.es). The first part of the former project is a series of sea salt flakes with which it is wanted to announce the most representative flavours of Majorca, giving it particular flavours to produce salt of sobrasada of Majorca, salt of Rameallet tomato (a native species from the Balearic Islands), Majorcan salt of cured cheese, salt of herbal liquor and salt of botifarr. In the future, the project will continue with another series of salts with more typical flavours from the island and different textures (foam, extrusionated products).
