Fundador and Xuntos Saborea Galicia: A gastronomic summit in Palma de Mallorca

On March 3, 2025, an extraordinary event took place in the exciting gastronomic world of Palma de Mallorca. Fundador and Xuntos Saborea Galicia joined forces to present an unprecedented culinary summit, aimed at professionals in the Balearic hospitality industry, where tradition and innovation were the main protagonists.

More than two hundred attendees enjoyed an exquisite tasting of premium products, which included meats from Discarlux, cheeses from Airas Moniz, preserves from Los Peperetes, and wines from the D.O. Albariño from Pazo de Rubianes. These brands, recognized for their exceptional quality, were perfectly accompanied by the brandies of Fundador and the wines of Harveys de Jerez.

The event, held at the Lume & Co restaurant, included innovative cocktail suggestions with the iconic Fundador Sherry Cask, a brandy with more than 150 years of history. These types of strategic collaborations aim to expand Fundador’s offering in the domestic market, strengthening the connection with Galician and Andalusian gastronomy.

Workshops, Showcooking and Pairings

The event not only offered tastings, but also training workshops specially designed for the hospitality sector. Alberto Pizarro, Trade Ambassador of Fundador, led a training focused on various brandy consumption proposals, highlighting the range of Brandy Prestige Fundador Supremo.

Attendees also enjoyed a spectacular live carving of a complete beef loin, led by José Portas, manager of Discarlux, along with butcher Arturo Pérez from Juanita Carnicería. The demonstration covered different cuts such as tomahawk, rack, T-bone steak, and ribeye, all in a close and educational environment.

Among the tasting proposals, the bonito belly with pasture cow’s milk butter and the sea bass in albariño sauce, paired with the wines from Pazo de Rubianes, stood out. Balfegó also captivated those present with a spectacular sushi workshop.
