The four sisters who make up the third generation of La Pastora and their mother attended the event.

And you might be wondering what the reason for this meeting was.

Thanks to the Caerm (Organic Farming Council of the Region of Murcia) we had the opportunity to show our products to the chef Julio Velandrino, with whom he has made the dishes that made up his menu throughout this week. In addition, the Caerm was in charge of carrying out the entire production process for recording a recipe with our products prepared by Julio Velandrino in the restaurant La Taulla.

We cannot show the content of this recipe yet, but we can assure you that you will want to try it as soon as you see it.

The gastronomic experience that you can live and feel in the restaurant La Taulla is exceptional, not only for its cuisine but for the whole that forms the tradition of the place where it is located, along with the most typical foods of our region and also in season.

The Fair Trade label

One very simple thing is to check the labelling of the products. We should look for the fair trade label on them. Since 2013, the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), introduced this label to recognize those products that produce, distribute, sell and are consumed according to standards. These are based on adequate working conditions and wages, on the non-exploitation of children, on gender equality and on respect for the environment.

Say NO to palm oil

Closely related to the product label, there are other aspects that we should be aware of in order to contribute to a more sustainable consumption. We must check that the products we consume do not contain palm oil, or substitutes of it. It is a product that makes production cheaper and is used by large food companies. However, its extraction depends on the deforestation of large forests around the world. Consequently, this causes many species to be displaced from their natural habitat and a large part of the world’s biodiversity to be lost. It is also known that this product can be harmful to health.

Our organic line.

Similarly, in the same package of our organic line we can find even more information. At La Pastora we offer the organic line in which we guarantee absolute respect for the environment, as the products have been grown on land without pesticides or chemical products. And of course with the traditional flavour of our paprika. You can find all the products of this line if you click here.

Sustainability also present in the kitchen

Finally, we should talk about the treatment of products. When we cook our recipes with paprika, a great idea would be to keep what is left over in a lid. It is good for having the leftsovers for preparing the dinner at the same time that we are being eco-friendly. We should try to use as little as possible of materials such as kitchen paper, aluminum foil and film, as these are all single-use materials.

We hope that with this eco-tips, you have been helped and as a consequence, you can contribute to a more sustainable world for all of us. Even if we do not believe it, with our small actions, we can contribute to make our planet a better place.

Once the products have been evaluated, the best ones will be chosen, which will have special recognitions such as: SIAL innovation awards by product category and special recognition for the 3 best innovations with the gold, silver and bronze categories.
