V-ZUG at Milan Design Week 2025 - the flavours

For this year’s Milan Design Week, a sculptural dining table conceived by Elisa Ossino sets the stage for carefully plated culinary delights offered by V-ZUG’s Gourmet Academy.  Delicate bites — in green, purple, and black and white — reveal how pairing contrasting textures like crunch with cream or bold flavors such as tangy citrus with earthy spices can transform ordinary ingredients into an extraordinary experience. Bring the V-ZUG Milan flavours to your home and create a colourful apero for your guests.

  • Japanese toast with barley grass and chive and ricotta cream

    The Japanese toast is complemented by the green freshness of barley grass. Crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, it is served with an intense chive and ricotta cream and microgreens – a harmonious interplay of green on green.

  • Purple bao buns with curry mayonnaise

    Black carrot juice gives these bao buns both their unusual colour and their delicate flavour. The intense, delicately purple curry mayonnaise adds flavour and colour accents, while the aromatic Asian filling made from red cabbage, tofu and purple carrot rounds off the colour theme perfectly.

  • Blueberry and violet curd with crumble and meringue

    Delicate violets and fine blueberries lend the deconstructed lemon meringue tart shades of purple, transforming a classic into an elegant interplay of colours, shapes and flavours.

  • Black tahini financiers with white chocolate mousse and pear compote

    Black tahini and activated charcoal give the financier cakes their deep colour, while tart, fruity pear and Franciacorta compote meets creamy white chocolate mousse – an exciting contrast in taste and appearance.

  • White asparagus flan with lemon and tarragon gel

    Delicate asparagus flan meets crisp crudités: thinly sliced, lightly marinated asparagus tips add freshness and texture. The lemon and tarragon gel creates a fine herbal note. A dish that celebrates the elegant, white nuances of asparagus and nature.
