This event, which brought together more than 500,000 visitors, was declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism in 2019. This has made it the first trade fair of its kind to obtain this distinction.

That is why at Pobill Ecològics we did not want to miss it.

The jury was made up of specialized personnel from the laboratory and official tasting panel of the Generalitat Valenciana, granting prestige and notoriety to the contest and our award.

The Arbequina is a variety native to Palestine that was introduced to Spain by the Duke of Medinaceli, Baron of Arbeca. The Duke lived in said Catalan town and for this reason; this variety has taken its name. From this ancient and traditional variety, we extract the Monovarietal EVOO 100% Arbequina eco from Pobill Ecològics, which has been extracted from our rustic farms Poubonet and Bovalar, in Càlig.

At Pobill Ecològics we use natural resources optimally, thus contributing to preserving plant and animal biodiversity.
