Some of the winners

  • To Rafael Monge, “Cultivo Desterrado” (Sanlucar de Barrameda), the Great Apron of Agriculture. For his efforts to resurrect old methods for the development of undeniably superior products.
  • To Luca Fuentes, the Great Apron of Cádiz Wines. A young woman who has led a team dedicated to promoting the wines of our land internationally from the Olympus of a three Michelin star restaurant such as the Aponiente Restaurant (Puerto de Santa Maria) and to create an innovative winery with its partners in 4 ojos wine, bottling wines that are incredibly surprising.
  • Great Sustainability Apron, to Juan Martín (recovery of estuaries). For the commitment shown in the recovery of the natural environments of our marshes and estuaries. As a way to project the geographical value of our land and its natural wealth.
  • Great Apron of Solidarity, to José Andrés (World Central Kitchen). Creating the most important and unfortunately necessary solidarity platform of this century, World Central Kitchen. Neither does his love and closeness to our province and its products. We hope that this award will serve, in its modest projection, to continue promoting his work.
  • Great Apron for innovation, to Ángel León – and the company Petaca Chico (Jamones del mar). It seemed impossible to find another formula to confirm what we already sensed, that our tuna from Almadraba are the perfect earless projection of the Iberian pig in those meadows of our seas.
