This year, the three candidates, under 35 years of age, who pass the pre-selection phase, will compete in two competitions:

  • Iberian pork butchering.

  • Presentation of artisan poultry meat products.

  • Omar Jamarillo

1.00 pm-2.30 pm Masterclass Xesc Reina.

This year we will be accompanied by the father of the reinvention of sobrasadas, the most creative, mediatic and avant-garde artisan charcuterie maker in our country: Xesc Reina.

This "creator of flavours and sausages" will delight us with an innovative masterclass that is out of the ordinary, exposing new artisan scenarios and "clicking" in the minds of the audience.
