The Nit de l’Artesania Alimentària (Food Craftsmanship Night) has held its annual gathering to highlight the knowledge, creativity, and trajectory of professionals who contribute to preserving and promoting the artisanal trades of the Catalan food sector. In this edition, eleven Diplomas of Mastery in Food Craftsmanship were awarded to professionals in the fields of baking, pastry making, cheesemaking, and butchery-charcuterie.
Furthermore, the second edition of the award for the Best Food Artisan of the Year took place. This award recognizes initiatives that improve and grow food craftsmanship, whether through the production of traditional products, innovation, promotion, or dissemination of these trades throughout the territory. The Resolution of September 28, 2026, has distinguished Felip Abadal Fité, baker from Forn de Cabrianes in Sant Fruitós de Bages, with this award.
Food craftsmanship involves the production of food products through processes that guarantee an individualized final product, of high quality and with differential characteristics, resulting from small productions controlled by the artisan. Through Decree 85/2024, of April 30, the Generalitat reinforces the sector's recognition and regulates the accreditation of food artisan companies.
