One of Spain’s most important gastronomic brands

The consolidation of the brand of local products Castelló Ruta de Sabor as a dynamic element of the agri-food sector of the province is already a reality with the inclusion last week of 40 new producers. There are already 80 producers and more than 100 products from 14 different agri-food sectors. “Three years ago when our president, Javier Moliner, thought of the opportunity to create a differentiating element that would act as an umbrella brand for our best gastronomy, we did not imagine such an important follow-up. Today we are already among the Spanish gastronomic brands with more products and more sectors, and created under serious parameters of quality and origin marked by professionals of the sectors themselves,” said the deputy. The ambition of the Diputación de Castellón with the enhancement of the gastronomy of the province is such that the Government of the province is already working on the creation of Castelló Ruta de Sabor as a new tourism product of Castellón. Thus, through the gastronomic resource of the products and the whole process of elaboration in the municipalities of Castellón, the Provincial Council will work hand in hand with municipalities and producers in order to value these products, all the natural and cultural heritage linked to them and attract visitors to the villages not only through the realization of gastronomic and commercial events, but also incorporate a series of tourist experiences with more complementary offerings that allow visitors to know the people of Castellón through its gastronomic tradition.
