the contest, that has taken place in the days 18 i 19 of May in Plaça de la Universitat, sales of bread and its derivatives have increased again, and this year it has become more inclusive, with the introduction of gluten-free products.
The products suitable for celiacs had their own point of sale, with the help·collaboration of the Celiac Association of Catalonia, and a workshop with tasting was organized, by Net Gluten Apron, and a vegetarian and gluten-free cooking demonstration with prestigious chef Mateo Sierra Ballarin.
The fairgrounds, located in Plaça Universitat, had a total of 36 stands, of which a dozen dedicated to the sale of bread and derivatives, and one with gluten-free products.
The Cervera Bread and Cereal Fair has become a point of reference in Catalonia in the promotion and marketing of these products. Every year, the competition has the support and advice of the Bakers' Guild of Catalonia, and this year also from the Celiac Association of Catalonia.
According to the paer in chief, Jan Pomés, the aim is to "give new impetus to the competition and strengthen it to reach the 80th anniversary with more strength". The Bread and Cereal Fair is part of the Sant Isidre Fair, which this year celebrated its 78th edition.
Finally, from the Paeria de Cervera would like to thank all the people and organizations that have made the Fair possible, and to all the people who have visited us and participated in the activities.
