For the first time at Salón Gourmets, a championship of pinchos made with Rioja products. Grupo Gourmets and the Government of La Rioja are organizing this competition to showcase the region's produce. The #productoriojano campaign brings the public closer to the way of doing things "Rioja style" and what better way than with a pincho competition in the framework of Salón Gourmets.

8 participants will have to prepare their creations in 20 minutes using at least one of the ingredients belonging to the PDO or PGI of La Rioja (PDO Rincón de Soto Pears, PDO Camerano Cheese, PDO La Rioja Oil, PDO Pedroso Walnuts, PDO Anguiano Beans, PGI Chorizo Riojano, PGI Pimiento Riojano and PGI Calahorra Cauliflower) and guarantee brands, such as La Rioja mushrooms and La Rioja vegetables: borage, cardoon, artichoke, asparagus and chard.

The jury, made up of professionals from the sector, will evaluate, among other aspects, the quantity of "Riojan" ingredients used in its preparation, the technique, originality and, of course, the flavour.

The winner will receive a prize of €1,500, the runner-up €700 and the third place winner €500. There will also be a special prize for the pincho best paired with DO Rioja wines produced in the Autonomous Community. The winner of this category will receive the sum of €500.
