CONTROL OF RAW MATERIAL FROM GLM 1

It coincides that, on the 19th, we received our first truck of the 2023 season. It is not from the farm we visited yesterday, but from another one also in Extremadura and about 50 km away from where we were yesterday. For this reason, the guests can verify in situ, that as we had told…

2 NEWS ABOUT THE 2022 CORK CAMPAIGN

FIRST. Actually, this is not news from this campaign, but rather from last year, but we want to give it now and generate peace of mind for our customers, because, apparently, some news is appearing in our sector, which generates concern.
