The awards
In mid-August last year, Pedro Matutes Mestre announced the launch of these awards, through which, as he explained then, the members of this academy “want to highlight the work carried out in the islands’ restaurants, the fantastic work of producers who are almost ‘romantically’ adding value to zero-kilometre products, recovering traditional varieties, as well as the work of many professionals from the Pitiusas who over the years have managed to make our cuisine an extremely important addition to the tourist offering”.
