THE FLAVOR OF A MAR D’AMUNT SAUCE
The history and essence of A Mar d’Amunt Sauce created by Paco Pérez
During the creation phase of A Mar d’Amunt Sauce, we worked closely with Paco Pérez to bring to life a recipe that not only captures the essence of the sea, but also celebrates its richness and uniqueness. This collaborative process sought not only to develop an exceptional product, but also to honor the purpose of enhancing the taste of the sea with authenticity and respect for its origin.
The sauce is named after Mar d’Amunt, a corner of the Mediterranean that combines beauty and serenity, the sea is not just a landscape, but a way of life.
Paco Pérez, the renowned chef who has dedicated his career to elevating marine flavors, shares a deep reflection on how this place inspires not only his cuisine, but also his philosophy of life. In his own words, “A Mar d’Amunt is a way of living, a way of being. Because it involves many aspects, of the north wind, of salinity, of the east wind, spaces without anyone, of walking near the sea, time to think and see everything that the sea means.”
This Mediterranean enclave has become the soul of the A Mar d’Amunt Sauce, a unique creation that encapsulates the essence of the sea. But beyond its culinary origin, this sauce represents a personal and collective commitment to the sustainability and preservation of our seas.
THE SEA AS CULINARY INSPIRATION
For Paco Pérez, working with seafood is an extension of his love for nature. “We want to bring to our table what we see every day, it’s what we truly want to do,” he explains. This philosophy translates into each of the dishes he creates, always seeking to honor the authentic and pure flavors that only the sea can offer.
The A Mar d’Amunt Sauce is a tangible manifestation of this dedication. Paco describes this sauce as “a hit of the sea” and “enjoying the infinite flavor of A Mar.” Made with sustainably grown seaweed, the sauce manages to capture the depth and richness of the Mar d’Amunt, redefining how we interpret the marine flavor in everyday cooking.
THE VERSATILITY OF SALSA A MAR D’AMUNT
Beyond its environmental and cultural message, Salsa A Mar d’Amunt is also a tribute to culinary enjoyment.
Paco describes how this sauce can transform any everyday dish into a unique experience.
From accompanying canned food to enhancing a tomato salad or rice emulsified with olive oil, the versatility of this sauce makes it an essential ingredient for those looking to bring the flavour of the sea to their table.
Even in pasta dishes, emulsification with a little oil and A Mar d’Amunt Sauce allows you to capture the depth and authenticity of Mar d’Amunt.
“It is a sauce for our everyday life, to give it the aroma of A Mar,” says Paco.
SUSTAINABILITY: AN ESSENTIAL COMMITMENT
Beyond his culinary passion, Paco Pérez emphasizes the importance of caring for the marine environment. In his own words, “The sea is a unique and unrepeatable space. We have to be honest with ourselves.” This commitment is reflected in his call to collective action: “If we all do our bit, we will make a very different world and have cleaner seas.”
Sustainability is not only about not exploiting resources, but also about actively contributing to the regeneration of the sea. Paco advocates initiatives such as safeguarding marine spaces, planting algae, sea urchins and mussels, and preserving the natural balance of the ecosystem. “Everything will add up,” he says, reminding us that even small gestures can make a big difference.
