The family-run butcher shop Ca La Maria, based in Sant Martí Sesgueioles, has been awarded the prize for the best truffled product in Catalonia at the Trufforum event in Vic.

Brothers Joan Prat and Carles Prat secured the victory with their truffled Donegal, a traditional cured meat that stood out among twelve competitors. The judges praised the perfect integration of the truffle aroma, a result achieved after months of technical trials to prevent the heat from destroying the delicate scent of the fungus.

"It makes you believe more in what you do. It is a boost to keep going."
