Hey Y'all,
Pairing food with water isn’t just for fine dining—it’s for anyone who wants to turn an ordinary meal into something unforgettable. And when it comes to elevating food (and wine!) pairings, 22 Artesian Water offers an exquisite range of possibilities. This isn’t just water—it’s an invitation to experience your food in a whole new way.
Whether you choose the Still or Sparkling version, 22 Artesian is one of the rare waters designed to support the art of gastronomy. With a medium minerality, slightly alkaline pH, and a silky, balanced mouthfeel, this Spanish artesian water is loved by chefs, winemakers, and sommeliers alike.
🍷 The Wine Connection
Let’s start with the unexpected: water that improves your wine experience.
Yes—22AW can help wine taste better. How? Its mineral composition gently cleanses the palate between sips, balances out acidity, and smooths over tannins in red wines. It doesn't compete—it complements. It's especially effective during long wine tastings, or for those sipping across a full-bodied wine flight.
Recommended wine pairings with 22AW Still:
-
Aged Tempranillo
-
Chardonnay with oak
-
Sparkling Rosé when you don’t want to “double bubble”
🥂 Sparkling 22AW – Sophisticated & Snappy
The sparkling version of 22 has delicate effervescence, tight mineral structure, and a persistent sparkle that makes it an excellent counterpoint to creamy, salty, or nutty dishes.
Try it with:
-
Smoked Trout Rillettes – A salty, rich dish that the bubbles cut through effortlessly.
-
Roasted Almonds & Marcona Olives – A tapas table dream. Texture meets texture.
-
Lemon Curd Tart – That zingy citrus meets the water’s clarity and finishes clean. It’s almost like Champagne...but without the hangover.
🍴 Still 22AW – Soft, Subtle, Elevated
The still version has a smooth, soft feel on the palate. There’s a touch of bitterness from magnesium, which adds complexity. This makes it perfect for dishes with rich textures, earthy roots, or acidic tang.
Try it with:
-
Seared Foie Gras – The rich, buttery texture needs a little mineral backbone.
-
Goat Cheese & Beet Salad – Tangy and earthy meet soft and silky.
-
Grilled Iberico Pork – Spain meets Spain. The water uplifts the umami.
🧂 Offbeat but Fabulous Pairings
Sometimes you want to shake things up—here are some unexpected (but oh-so-fun) pairings we dare you to try:
-
Still + Fresh Oysters – Skip the Champagne. Let the water highlight the salinity.
-
Sparkling + Prosciutto & Melon – Classic meets clever. The bubbles bring it alive.
-
Still + Dark Chocolate – Yes. Seriously. That cocoa bitterness softens when sipped with a mineral-balanced still water. Try it with 70% or higher cacao.
✨ Elevate the Experience
Here’s the secret: water, when chosen well, doesn’t just “cleanse” the palate. It resets, amplifies, and elevates. Whether you're designing a five-course tasting menu or simply nibbling cheese and charcuterie with friends, try 22 Artesian Water as your liquid co-star.
Because water shouldn’t be an afterthought. It should be the highlight.
And with 22 Artesian, it always is.
