The Galician Food Cluster (Clusaga) and Galician food retail company Vegalsa-Eroski presented the “Galician Products of the Year 2026: Innovation and Excellence” campaign this Friday at the Eroski A Sionlla hypermarket in Santiago de Compostela. The initiative showcases the quality, creativity and innovative capacity of Galician products recognised at the 2026 Galicia Food Awards, held on 11 June.
Running throughout August, the campaign will give consumers the opportunity to discover a selection of products recognised at these awards, reinforcing Clusaga and Vegalsa-Eroski’s commitment to promoting Galicia’s food sector and turning supermarkets into a showcase for the wealth, diversity and talent of the Galician food industry. The presentation was attended by representatives of Clusaga, led by its CEO, Juanjo de la Cerda, and its director, Roberto Alonso; representatives of Vegalsa-Eroski, including Eroski Business Director Florentino Vázquez and Purchasing Director Jorge Eiroa; and Martín Alemparte, Director of the Galician Food Quality Agency (Agacal), part of the Regional Ministry of Rural Affairs. All those present highlighted the importance of this collaboration in giving Galician companies greater visibility, boosting their competitiveness and bringing consumers products that embody the excellence and innovation of the food sector.
Throughout August, the campaign will be present in 24 Eroski hypermarkets and Eroski Center supermarkets across Galicia, specifically in stores in A Coruña (Xuxán), Arteixo, Betanzos, Cambre (A Barcala), Culleredo (Acea de Ama), Noia, Padrón, As Pontes, Santiago de Compostela (A Choupana and A Sionlla), Teo, Oleiros (O Seixal), Ponteareas, Ribadeo, Ribadavia, Xinzo de Limia, Ourense (Seixalbo), Vilanova de Arousa, Vilagarcía de Arousa, Sanxenxo (Vilalonga), Vigo (Portanet), Nigrán and Poio (A Barca). Customers will be able to identify the award-winning and finalist products through specific in-store signage.
Among the award-winning products and projects are Galletas de Xián by Sacrapastas, winner of the Terra Excellence Award for its artisanal production using manual pressing techniques and its inspiration from Romanesque art and Galician mythology; Paco & Lola Prime 2021 wine, winner of the Liquid Excellence Award for representing the winery’s finest expression through a 100% Albariño from the Val do Salnés, aged for 24 months on fine lees; Larsa’s Emotional Leadership and Grazing project, awarded in the Market Initiative, Projection and Strategy category for strengthening the brand’s leadership through a grazing-based production model; and Daveiga’s Responsible Production Model, recognised as a Sustainable Initiative for its commitment to the social economy, zero waste and the local community.
The campaign will also give consumers the opportunity to discover products such as Bagazitos, the first snacks made from brewer’s spent grain through a circular economy process; Pazo do Val cheese, protected by the Arzúa-Ulloa PDO; Aboa Migalla artisan bread, produced under the Pan de Cea and Pan Galego PGIs; Vida G functional water, enriched with flavanols; Optimilk PRO Matcha Tea dairy drink; Al Lío freeze-dried fruit; PetFlurry yoghurt for pets; and Serie Limitada Escurís, a premium preserve made with Galician bonito tuna.
In addition, participating brands will be able to use the official 2026 Galicia Food Awards seal, a distinction that identifies recognised products and strengthens their prestige and consumer confidence.
Through this initiative, Clusaga and Vegalsa-Eroski are turning Eroski stores into a showcase for contemporary Galician food, offering consumers a representative sample of the sector’s richness and diversity. The campaign brings together products that combine tradition, innovation, sustainability and identity in a single space—from products inspired by Galicia’s cultural heritage or protected by recognised quality schemes to proposals based on the circular economy, functional foods and emerging consumer trends. It reflects the ability of Galician companies to innovate without losing sight of their roots, as well as the dynamism of a food ecosystem that positions Galicia as a benchmark for quality, creativity and added value.
