Enjoy Gourmet Experiences Without Complications
Great gastronomic moments don’t always require a full kitchen, hours of preparation, or a reservation at a Michelin-star restaurant. Sometimes, true pleasure comes from opening a perfectly crafted tin of premium seafood, pouring a glass of good wine, and letting the flavours speak for themselves.
At Do Gourmet, we believe in elevating these simple yet indulgent experiences. Our mission is to bring high-quality gourmet products from renowned producers directly to the UAE — including premium Espinaler conservas used in 3-Michelin-star restaurants. Whether you are a hotel, restaurant, retailer, delivery platform or a wine-loving consumer looking for premium convenience, our selection transforms any moment into a refined culinary experience.
And few things pair as naturally with gourmet canned products as wine. The purity, concentration and umami of preserved seafood create exceptional harmony with a wide range of wines, offering endless possibilities for professionals and home gourmets alike.
Why Gourmet Preserves Are Perfect for Wine Pairing
Canned gourmet products — when made with exceptional raw ingredients — are not a shortcut. They’re a tradition. Espinaler, for example, preserves seafood at its peak, locking in texture, aroma and flavour with millimetric precision.
This consistency makes them ideal for wine pairing:
-
Intense, clean flavours match beautifully with aromatic or mineral wines.
-
Controlled salinity and umami enhance acidity and freshness.
-
Silky or firm textures create balance with structured whites, rosés and even light reds.
-
Convenience and elegance make them perfect for tastings, aperitivo boards, hotel amenities, catering, and luxury delivery services.
In short: they’re reliable, premium, and gastronomically powerful.
Pairing Guide: Gourmet Conservas & Wines
Below you’ll find a curated pairing guide featuring our premium Espinaler range — designed to help you create memorable tasting experiences, whether you are planning a wine bar menu, a hotel reception, a catering table, or an at-home aperitivo.
White Tuna Belly & Yellowfin Tuna Belly: Elegant, Silky, Exceptional
Products:
Profile: buttery texture, delicate salinity, refined ocean aroma.
Best wine pairings:
-
Albariño
-
Chardonnay (unoaked or lightly oaked)
-
Godello
-
Brut sparkling wine
Why it works: The silky richness of the tuna belly is lifted by wines with crisp acidity and subtle fruit notes. Albariño and Godello enhance its freshness, while a good Brut adds celebratory elegance.
Anchovy Fillets: Intense, Savoury and Addictive

Best wine pairings:
-
Txakolí
-
Verdejo

Mineral-driven white wines

Best wine pairings:

Profile: gentle salinity, clean marine aroma, delicate texture.
Best wine pairings:
