This November has been a busy month! We have attended two major fairs, the Bio Cultura in Madrid and the Fòrum Gastronòmic in Barcelona. On both occasions we were able to enjoy a great gastronomic atmosphere full of great professionals and quality products.
BioCultura Madrid
From November 7 to 10 we were at BioCultura Madrid, the most important fair for organic products and responsible consumption in Spain.
At the fair we are exhibiting our range of gourmet organic products. A range of quality products, produced with seasonal and seasoned catches and using organic ingredients for their preparation, such as organic extra virgin olive oil or organic white wine vinegar.
Always committed to sustainability and the environment, it was a real pleasure for us to be able to share space with the other exhibitors and to be able to show our most ecological range.

Barcelona Gastronomic Forum
This week we were at the Fòrum Gastronòmic in Barcelona, an essential event for professionals in the world of gastronomy.
In addition to having the opportunity to exhibit our Cantabrian products, we have been able to show all attendees the effort, dedication and care with which we work the product in an artisanal way. To do so, we have had the assistance of our expert filleting expert Lorena Alvarez, who has accompanied us these days cleaning the authentic Cantabrian anchovies just as we do in our factory in Santoña.
The entire anchovy and boquerones filleting process is a manual task, following methods and processes that can be classified as ancient. It is a process with a marked artisanal character, in which all the operations are carried out by hand by “Las Sobadoras de Santoña”. Many thanks Lorena for bringing your careful work to all the attendees.
During the fair we have carried out different tastings thanks to our friend and collaborator, chef David Codina, who prepared delicious tapas with our products. We also enjoyed some special visits, such as that of chef Marc Ribas and chef Albert Adrià, who trusts our anchovies for his brand “La Cala”.
Finally, and on the occasion of the Fòrum Gastronòmic, La Vanguardia spoke with Josep to learn a little more about our history and the artisanal method of making our products. You can read the interview by clicking here
