Usage Note
Textura covers both tactile texture (how a surface feels) and visual texture in art and design. In cooking, textura is used extensively in modern Spanish gastronomy — Ferran Adrià's cuisine famously plays with unexpected texturas. The adjective texturizado (textured) is common in fabric and food labelling.
