II Carob sweets contest<\/h3>\n

The carob tree is once again the protagonist in Alcalal\u00ed 🌿🍰<\/strong><\/p>\n

To celebrate the 10th Edition of Feslal\u00ed \u201cFebruary is Alcalal\u00ed\u201d, the Alcalal\u00ed Town Council is organising the Carob Sweets Contest, a gastronomic proposal that invites you to rediscover this fruit so rooted in our landscape, history, and agricultural identity.<\/p>\n

Carob has been a traditional crop in Alcalal\u00ed for generations.
Today, thanks to its culinary versatility, natural properties, and value as a sustainable product, it once again holds a prominent place in both cooking and the town's future projects.
This contest is also part of the Feasibility study on the commercialisation of the carob in Alcalal\u00ed, which focuses on gastronomic transformation and added value as keys to its revaluation.<\/p>\n

What does the contest involve?<\/strong>
Participants must prepare a sweet in which carob is an essential ingredient, whether in the form of flour, paste, or syrup.
Both creativity and gastronomic quality, as well as the link to tradition and local products, will be valued.<\/p>\n

To facilitate participation, the Town Council will provide 300 grams of carob flour to each registered person.<\/p>\n

Prizes<\/strong>
Three prizes will be awarded, each consisting of a \u20ac75 voucher to be spent in Alcalal\u00ed shops:
\u00b7 Prize for the tastiest sweet made with carob
\u00b7 Prize for innovation and creativity with carob
\u00b7 Prize for tradition and local product<\/p>\n

Free registration on the site www.feslali.com until February the 10th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you love baking, want to experiment with local products, or simply want to be part of an initiative that values our agricultural and gastronomic heritage, we encourage you to participate.<\/p>\n

👉 Carob has a past, present, and future in Alcalal\u00ed\u2026 and it also tastes sweet!<\/strong><\/p>\n
