The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food announced the 2024 Spanish Food Awards, in which a total of 113 applications were submitted for these categories.

The Innovation Award went to a company based in San Fulgencio, Conservas Familia Conesa.

“This canning company stands out for its strong innovative conviction, which is demonstrated by its commitment to the recovery of vegetable waste and discards with high nutritional value for use both in domestic use and in haute cuisine.” Also, for the generation of references of vegetable cremogenates, which allows it to offer a range of healthy and sustainable products that are an inspiring example for the national agri-food sector.

Peppers and artichokes are amongst the speciality products prepared by the company in their facility on the CV-860 road, where more than 200 people work to provide their global produce from the 25,000 square metre factory.
