Joan Roca's Setacor Mushroom Tart (Celler de Can Roca)

The BBVA-Celler Can Roca Awards for sustainable producers

These awards are held annually and last summer Setacor had the opportunity to be part of the 2022 awards. They wrote a report on their circular project and sent it to the organization. They honestly thought that the number of companies that would apply would be so great that being one of the chosen ones was almost an impossible mission. Because in Spain there are many people who work very well on sustainability, we are a world power, gastronomically speaking. It was already a dream that he Chef Joan Roca could know about us. That was the reward they would have left at least. But not, setacor, has a star, and could have been one of the winners.

Setacor, a lifetime being sustainable

And it is that after 20 years of experience, they have closed the circle of substrates, achieving a milestone in the sector with the zero residue. They grow mushrooms on the olive leaves of their fields and, when the substrate is exhausted, they return to the olive grove to nourish the soil and the trees. In this way, they manage to sequester several tons of Co2 per year. This is an initiative that we hope many more companies in Spain will follow. We could reduce the amounts of Co2 enormously.

setacor pioneer in the cultivation of the pink, yellow, mane, barbuda, sun mushroom, etc., in Spain.

And it develops a series of gourmet products such as mushroom vegetable pates, mushroom vinaigrette, mushroom flour and dehydrated mushrooms that you can find on our website and enjoy at home.

Joan Roca, a chef with a star

Joan is a chef currently recognized as number 3 in the world among chefs on a planetary level. The owner together with his brothers Jordi and Josep del Celler Can Roca Group, which brings together restaurants, and its own brands such as Cocoa House.

At the awards ceremony, he was able to chat with us and the other 9 winners as sustainable producers 2022. And we were reassured to know the tendency of the new generations to invest again in family businesses, but innovating and internationalizing the business, in order to become profitable and with the potential to continue growing.

Remember that El Celler de Can Roca It has been chosen several times as the best restaurant in the world, and it is in that very small list of restaurants that, outside of the annual classifications, is considered one of the best of all time. There it is!!
