'Bo per a tothom': Catalan musicians support the local product
Singers Beth, Gemma Humet, Las Migas, Joan Rovira, Salva Racero from La’x’Busto and the music group ‘Setembre’ perform the song ‘Bo per tothom’ to promote local consumption.
You won't be able to get it out of your head. It is cheerful and optimistic, but also combative and with a clear enough background message: it is necessary to consume local products. A dozen Catalan musicians have joined their voices in this anthem that sings the benefits of local consumption and 'slow food'.
The Gastroteca is a tool to support the marketing of local foods; an interactive channel at the service of consumers, professionals in the sector (producers, processors, food artisans, distributors, chefs, gourmets, promoters of gastronomic tourism…) and the entities that work around our food products. Do you want to discover them? Here you will find everything you are looking for about local Catalan products: where to buy them, where to taste them and the recipes for cooking them, as well as an agenda of gastronomic events, routes and links of interest.
Proximity baskets and lots
It is a tradition that for Christmas companies, organizations, friends and family, give away baskets where food products predominate. From the Gastroteca, and responding to a request that has been transferred to us from different sectors, we offer you through this portal the information of those producers that offer batches with quality products of the country. We wish you a Merry Christmas and encourage you to give away the best and best products of our land for these holidays.
We take care of our table
Caring for our table is caring for our peasantry. Therefore, coinciding with Christmas, from Benvinguts a Pagès we want to facilitate the direct purchase of the field at the table. Go to the website and in the videos you will find the direct link to the shopping cart of each product and information sheets of the producer that makes it possible.
Certified Quality
Protected Designations of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indications (PGI) are foods from a specific geographical area officially recognized by the EU for their high quality. They are products rooted in a territory, which gives them a specific character and an inimitable taste. They are easily identifiable by the consumer thanks to their logo.
Catalonia, where food is culture
The Department of Agriculture has promoted the creation of the brand 'Catalonia, where food is culture' to strengthen the positioning of Catalan agri-food productions and gastronomy and provide them with communicative homogeneity, both in the interior and in the 'outdoor.
The aim is to highlight the food produced in Catalonia to guarantee a complete, competitive food system, territorially rooted and based on diversity. And, at the same time, consolidating Catalonia as a country of reference for the prestige of its food system.
The Catalan Food Council
The Catalan Food Council is the body for participation and debate on agri-food: the Food Parliament of Catalonia. It is made up of a wide representation of the agri-food sector, from consumer associations to agricultural professional organizations, institutions and professional associations. The Catalan Food Council is working to lay the foundations for a new country food strategy based on local food production and sustainable environmental management.
