During the event, tribute was also paid to 36 companies with over half a century of history and another four that have surpassed a century of existence, emphasizing the importance of tradition and continuity in the sector.
“"With these awards, we distinguish a way of doing things based on product care, service, respect for tradition, and the pursuit of excellence. But they also represent the ability to compete and reach consumers with quality as a calling card. Companies, businesses, and restaurants that are committed to local and authentic products."
This awards ceremony serves as a prelude to the Food and Gastronomy Fair, which will open this Saturday. This fair is expected to be a major showcase for Degusta Jaén products, with an extensive program of activities running until Monday, offering a significant platform for the sector.
