With my fellow academicos (Academia Sevillano Gastronomía y Turismo) at the first colloquium for Year of EVOO held at the Caja Rural del Sur Foundation. “EL AOVE DE SEVILLA, HOY” was a timely topic given the challenges the industry is facing at the moment.

Participating in the event (photo) were Isabel Solís, territorial delegate of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water, Fisheries and Rural Development; Moisés Caballero, general secretary of the Governing Council of the DOP Estepa, Manuel Félix Moreno, president of Opracol, and Eduardo Martín Jiménez, general secretary of ASAJA Sevilla. Our academica Begoña Amurrio moderated the colloquium with a introduction by our president Julio Moreno.

The session ended with several questions from the public, among them local experts and also producers from the province. As always, it was a very interesting and educational event.
