The Pack “Terres de l’Ebre” we presented in 2016, only a few weeks before Xmas season, was an astonishing success, as it went sold out. This year we are releasing a second edition of the pack. You know that we always want to provide you with reasons to show affection to your loved ones. And these reasons are better shown if you share time and meals with them. Now, you may benefit from significant advantages if you get the pack this week (see below). “Terres de l’Ebre” is a great gift for the upcoming season.

We are very pleased to share with you that we have been accepted as finalists to one of the most important Prizes in Food Innovation in Catalonia. Last 5 October we went to Barcelona to present our project to a jury composed by  senior officials from the Department of Agriculture of the Catalan Government.

In our last post we reported our Summer visit to the Farga del Arión, where some of the oldest olive trees in the world are living and producing oil.  Related to this, today we want to introduce a very interesting initiative that Ralda & Friends is publicly supporting.

Our suggestion of today is about oleo-tourism and, particularly, about a very interesting asset located in the village of Ulldecona, in Tarragona province, very close to our home in Godall.

You can meet these wonderful trees and the lands surrounding by following...

On May 30, we had the pleasure to meet our friends and adopters in Geneva for the traditional Olive Oil Tasting, where we all had the opportunity of tasting the new seasonal oil, together with a good pan con tomate, the Spanish tortilla de patatas and some additional and unexpected delicatessen. The encounter took place at Schwarz Kitchens offices (our Swiss distributor). This year we had some special guests, such as our Yaya Pili, Pierre Ralda and our friends Emilienne Hutin (who brought her extraordinary wines from Dardagny ) and Yoann Cassam Chenai (who brought exotic world-wide peppers from Madagascar...
