We celebrated the recent Launch of the Eat Spain Drink Spain Singapore (ESDS) 2024 Campaign along with a lovely celebration of Queic by Olivia's New Outlet Opening whilst sampling an Exclusive Tasting of Singapore's Favorite Spanish Cheesecake & Spanish Mineral Waters.
Key Activities of Eat Spain Drink Spain 2024 (ESDS)
Exclusive Tastings for Professionals: Series of tastings and paired dinners for food and beverage professionals.
Retail Promotions: Special promotions on Spanish food and wines at selected vinotecas and gourmet stores.
Bar and Restaurant Collaborations:Highlighting Spanish culinary delights through special menus and events in partnership with certified "Restaurants from Spain."
RESTAURANTS FROM SPAIN (RFS)
The "Restaurants from Spain" certificate is an instrument for the support and recognition of restaurant initiatives that are focused on Spanish cuisine and, by extension, the Spanish culture, guaranteeing the level of quality of these establishments. It recognizes and establishes quality standards and criteria for the consumer who is looking for quality Spanish cuisine, as well as models that can be followed by restaurateurs who may wish to offer Spanish cuisine in other parts of the world. All the restaurants that have the "Restaurants from Spain" certificate will share a feeling of Spanish gastronomy based on genuine roots, ingredients, recipes, and quality.
Awarded following a stringent selection process by a joint committee composed of official institutions and sectoral associations, chaired by ICEX Spain Trade and Investment, strongly linked to gastronomy such as the Royal Academy of Gastronomy, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Regulatory Council for Jérez-Xérès-Sherry Wines D.O.P., INTERPORC, ASTUREX, the Spanish Wine Federation, Spanish Olive Oils Interprofessional and the REPSOL Guide, the certificate will distinguish those establishments that outside Spain offer their diners not only Spanish products but also authentic quality Spanish cuisine, with a unique and differentiated image.
The certification, which will be renewed annually, will have a direct and immediate impact on the HORECA channel, whose activity has been severely affected by the pandemic, by promoting greater knowledge of the restaurant in the country, boosting its occupation, and the dissemination of authentic quality Spanish cuisine.
Besides the certification, the restaurant's team will receive specialized training in both gastronomy and Spanish wines, thus being able to expand the Spanish culinary offer available on the menu. And in parallel, the certificate will facilitate access to the restaurant, and therefore to the market, to a greater number of suppliers of Spanish products, which will boost the presence of Spanish food and wine around the world.

A TASTE OF QUEIC with THE WATER SOMMELIER at QUEIC by OLIVIA
This is a special tasting event featuring cakes and bubbles, celebrating Singapore’s beloved cheesecake, queic alongside The Water Sommelier’s Spanish naturally sparkling water.
Queic by Olivia, an artisanal cheesecake shop was born from the acclaimed Olivia Restaurant & Lounge, a certified Restaurant fom Spain. Since its opening in 2021, queic has become Singapore’s famous and favourite cheesecake worth waiting in line for. Famed for Olivia's Signature Cheesecake—a decadent creation with a gooey blue cheese-infused center atop a soft, crumbly almond sable crust—renowned for melting on the plate and in your mouth. We love the burnt aroma of the famous Basque delight, and I am not a cheese person, but I was truly taken aback by the structure, taste and finesse of this wonderful pastry, so awesome!
Water Sommelier was founded by Mr. Sam Wu, Singapore's First Certified Water Sommelier, his venture was sparked by a deep-seated passion to transform the way people perceive and savor water. The dedicated team takes great pride in meticulously curating and presenting the world's most exquisite natural mineral waters.
Established in 2019, The Water Sommelier originated from an intense passion to revolutionise the appreciation & and enjoyment of water. They are trailblazers in the fine water industry, having pioneered Singapore's first Water Tasting Masterclasses and standing as the only specialised distributor of fine waters in Singapore. Their Legendary brands Solán de Cabras and Vichy Catalán bring a splash of fun and sophistication to the gastronomy table with their avant-garde design and unique taste/mineral profiles.
The Vichy Catalan Natural Mineral Water Rich in Sodium Bicarbonate to aid in digestion. Alleviates acid reflux & heart burn. It helps to combat acidosis so it is excellent in it's electrolyte properties benefit. I love the freshness of both their Solán de Cabras still water and Vichy Catalan sparking water! Just spectacular and refreshing beyond belief!
