In this new video featuring my “Yaya” Pili and myself, we present the recipe of one of the most delightful dishes in the Catalan late Winter: the Asparagus Omelette, with one of the most celebrated native products we have in our fields: the asparagus.

As a result of our promotional campaign of the “Terres del Ebre” Pack, many media were interested in our project. We already told...

Together with his family, Pierre spent New Year’s at the Cordoba Province (not to confound with the Andalusian Cordoba), surrounded by olive trees plantations of his brother in law, Martin, at the Traslasierra Valley. Argentina, better known for its production of beef and its large fields of wheat and soya at the Pampa, is also an emerging player in the olive oil sector. With...
