Catalonia World Region of Gastronomy boosts Catalan producers at Gastronomic Forum Barcelona

Catalonia will take centre stage at Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2025, which will take place from 3 to 5 November at Fira de Barcelona's Montjuïc venue, within the framework of Catalonia World Region of Gastronomy 2025. The Government of Catalonia, through Prodeca, promotes the grouped participation of agrifood companies in the Catalunya spaces i Ecoteca, with the aim of strengthening the visibility and competitiveness of Catalan products before the sector's professional audience.

In all, more than 120 Catalan companies —organised by Prodeca, the Xarxa de Productes de la Terra of Barcelona Provincial Council, Lleida Provincial Council and Girona Excel·lent (Girona Provincial Council)— make up one of the most powerful showcases of the Catalan agrifood sector at national trade fairs.

A diverse representation of the Catalan agrifood sector

On Monday 3 November at 12 noon, the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food, Òscar Ordeig, will visit various stands at the fair. In this edition, Prodeca is accompanying more than 20 Catalan companies —12 conventional and 10 organic— which will exhibit in the Espai Catalunya and the Espai Ecoteca. This participation reaffirms the Catalan sector's commitment to quality, sustainability and food innovation.

"This prominent presence of Catalan companies at Gastronomic Forum Barcelona is a sign of the dynamism and strength of our agrifood sector. Through the Espai Catalunya and the Rebost de Catalunya, we project commercial strength, diversity and the story of the territory, connecting producers, restaurants and distribution under a single objective: to grow Catalan gastronomy inside and outside the country", said Dèlia Perpiñà, director of Prodeca,.

Featured sessions: the world's best cuisine and the future of Catalan cuisine

The Gastronomic Forum will host notable activities linked to Catalonia World Region of Gastronomy 2025, such as the session “Why does Catalonia have the best cuisine in the world?” (Monday 3 November, 11 am, Auditorium). This presentation will unveil key projects of the gastronomic year such as Herois del Rebost, El Plat de la Regió Mundial, Gastrosàvies and the Tasta el Grand Tour de Catalunya route, with the participation of institutional representatives and sector professionals.

Also noteworthy is the Catalan Cuisine Symposium (Wednesday 5 November, Fòrum Lab, from 10:30 am to 6 pm), a space for reflection and debate on the present and future of Catalan cuisine, with figures such as Toni Massanés, Maria Nicolau and Jordi Vilà, who will address the transmission, recommendation and identity of a living, contemporary cuisine rooted in the territory, and at which the Marca Cuina Catalana brand will be presented by the Directorate General for Agrifood Companies, Quality and Gastronomy of the Government of Catalonia. 

Among the most distinctive sessions of the programme is also the “Wild Flavour” workshop, dedicated to game meat, led by chef Jordi Vilà (Alkimia*) and sponsored by the Directorate General for Forests and Environmental Management.

El Rebost de Catalunya: the value of the product and the story of the territory

El Rebost de Catalunya, managed jointly by the Government of Catalonia —through the Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food and Prodeca— and the provincial councils of Barcelona, Girona and Lleida, will once again be the space for Catalan agrifood producers. This year it will host more than 20 gastronomic activities and tastings led by the producers themselves, with capacity for 30 people per session.

The programme offers a journey through the richness and diversity of Catalan produce, with sessions dedicated to wines, oils, meats, cured meats, sweets, liqueurs and seafood. The demonstrations will reveal the stories, techniques and distinctive features of brands from all over the territory, such as Vitae Kombucha, Canals i Munné, La Vinyeta, Oleum Naturale, Ànec de l’Empordà, Cooperativa La Granadella and Cuinats Jotri, among many others. There will also be guided themed tastings such as “The value of nuts and dried fruit”, “Local beer and gastronomy” and “Tasting of extra virgin olive oils from Terres de Lleida”, which will highlight the connection between landscape, product and gastronomy.

The Rebost de Catalunya thus consolidates its role as a meeting point between producer and professional consumer, a space where the story of the territory takes shape through taste, knowledge and proximity. Each session is an experience combining tradition and innovation, reaffirming the value of Catalan produce as a key element of the country's gastronomic identity.

Catalonia, an international benchmark in gastronomy and sustainable food

With this joint participation, Catalonia consolidates its position as a gastronomic and agrifood benchmark at international level, in a key year for its projection as World Region of Gastronomy 2025. The Gastronomic Forum will thus be a platform to showcase the richness of the Catalan agrifood fabric and the values that drive it: sustainability, innovation and roots in the territory.
