On June 21st, the Lacrima Olea brand made its debut in such an emblematic space as the Boqueria Market, in the very historical center of Barcelona. The event coordinated by Pierre Ralda on behalf of Godall Cooperative was attended by 3 outstanding Olive Oil Hosts: the gastronomic journalist Tana Collados, the Barcelonas chef Ada Parellada (Semproniana Restaurant) and the Michelin one stars chef (and ambassador of Terres de l’Ebre) Jeroni Castell (Les Moles Restaurant) shared a round table and subsequent culinary demonstration on the benefits of extra virgin olive oil from Godall. Our village, its ancient olive trees, and the...

From Ralda+Friends we want to say goodbye to this complicated year and wish you all the Best for Next Year with this picture we made yesterday Tuesday 23 of December, Alfredo, Nicolas and Pierre at La Plana during the recollection of olives.

Besides the problems with olive-trees plundering we have previously reported with Salvem lo Montsia Association, a new and great concern has appeared in our industry. It is the sum of four conjunctural factors that have come into play and put the job of thousands of Spanish producers at risk. This crisis can end up aggravating the plundering and the loss of economic, natural and cultural heritage.
