Zamora Launches Bread and Flour Initiative With First Symposium

Organizers mapped a 2026 international congress leading to a 2027 Pan Fest championship featuring tastings of 500 breads.

Overview

  • The kickoff event at the Palacio de la Encarnación drew about 300 attendees and featured noted voices such as Ibán Yarza, Daniel Jordà, Guillermo Moscoso and Elisabete Ferreira.
  • Caja Rural de Zamora is promoting the project, with Madrid Fusión and Vocento Gastronomía organizing and support from the regional government, the city and the provincial council.
  • Backers say the goal is to make the province a national and international reference for quality bread and flour and to raise the standing of flour on par with oil or wine.
  • Zamora highlights its unique Spanish flour quality mark, the Harina Tradicional Zamorana, and its milling heritage as foundations for the push.
  • Plans include staging Pan Fest in 2027 as an international bread championship, scheduled to complement Fromago’s alternating calendar and envisioned to activate streets and public squares.
