This union was additional proof of our eagerness to make further explorations into the world of science.

Dried hydrangea of cocoa
We were obsessed with the challenge of representing vanity by creating the biggest bubbles we could control, and to do so we once again turned to science.
The role of Mugaritz was to create a health culture and develop new products aimed at satisfying the nutritional needs of the footballers, which also incorporated a gastronomic perspective.

Animal cake
In our search for new textures we came across soaked pork skin, which was similar to that of a sponge cake soaked in alcohol, and from there we tried to draw a comparison with tiramisu.

Mugaritz transforms pandemic uncertainty into creativity with its La Casa en el Árbol (Tree House) project
Mugaritz is synonymous with a constant commitment to creativity.
Texturing agents or hydrocolloids are carbohydrates and proteins of natural origin obtained from fruits, vegetable seeds, seaweed, tubers and cereals, among other sources. A reflection of the accuracy and neatness we were looking for in our beginnings, playing with recognisable products, closer to traditional cuisine than the path we have chosen in later years.
1998
Mugaritz opens its doors
If Mugaritz had been created elsewhere, our story would surely be different.
It probably seemed crazy to plant our project in the middle of nowhere, between two towns, on the border and under the shelter of a stoic oak tree. The paper contained a compound called PTC (or phenylthiocarbamide) that only 70% of people are able to taste, demonstrating that each diner’s experience can be different.

A black banana with shrimp paste
This year, thanks to a Korean member of our team, we had access to a black garlic fermentation machine for the first time.

A fire razes Mugaritz to the ground, but symbolises the start of a new era: Mugaritz decides from then on to close for a lengthy period of the year to devote itself to creation
On 15 February, the Mugaritz kitchen was burnt to the ground.
The competition, “The World’s 50 Best Restaurants”, is backed by a jury made up of 806 professionals from all over the world, including journalists, food critics, writers, editors and commentators. A doll that hides inside another doll that hides another doll, and so on and so forth. This project was the culmination of our commitment to education.
Other milestones: The documentary “Mugaritz.
It starts out as a thin film, but gradually fattens up until it takes on body, arms and legs.
2019
“Puntos de Fuga” (“Vanishing Points”), a book that promotes the shaking up of gastronomy based on creativity
A new Mugaritz publication saw the light of day: “Puntos de Fuga”. The children take half a dozen each to school from their homes, where they polish them off with the teachers, the high sugar content bringing the most primitive of pleasures.
At first we put the vegetable charcoal in a kind of salad, but following the advice of the renowned Italian food critic Bob Noto, we changed to serving it on a potato base.

Publication of “Clorofilia”: Mugaritz publishes its own books to spread its know-how
There was a time when our elders did not distinguish between gastronomy, pharmacopeia and magic.
An invitation to allow your mouth to take you to the origin of everything.

Real Sociedad, Mugaritz and AZTI team up to innovate in sports nutrition
In 2005 we knocked on the door of AZTI, a scientific and technological centre specialising in the marine environment and food, to go a step further in our relationship with scientific research.
From that moment on, we established what we call a “period of creativity” which involves setting aside six months every year (between November and April) to address the challenge of creating a new season, almost from scratch.

Over a gelatinous pine nut cream, glutinous cod fish and mastic resin
Cod has been one of our favourite products since the beginning.
When, in 2014, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) invited us to their classrooms, it was this technique that we chose for our presentation.
His path led him to work with legendary figures of the modern culinary movement, experiences that profoundly shaped his creative outlook.
In 1998, he founded Mugaritz, a restaurant nestled in nature, where culinary expression meets philosophy, science, and art. In 1998 we were very excited, but with little justification.
