That is why, on this occasion, we will talk about tradition—its importance and its evolution. Because without tradition, there is no avant-garde. The reinterpretation of the classics and the defense of gastronomic identity will be the theme we will explore in this session. Aula Forum

In this presentation, we pay tribute to three gems of Catalan bread: the Coca de Sant Joan, Pa de Pagès, and the Llonguet.
    Guided by artisan bakers and industry experts, attendees will discover the secrets that make these products unique —from their doughs and fermentation processes to their cultural significance— with live demonstrations and a tasting session to fully appreciate their flavors and textures.
