Beyond Seeds CEO Francisco Bermúdez accepted the award and expressed his satisfaction at this new success, following the Innovation Award won by Zucchiolo at Fruit Logistica 2024. “It is a source of pride to see that Almería is not only a world leader in the production of fresh fruit and vegetables, but is also a great attraction for the Horeca channel and the best chefs in the world.”

This is demonstrated by the fact that, together with Beyond Seeds, the Green Gastronomy Congress, Vestial, has also been recognised as the Best Project for the Dissemination of Green Cuisine in its Future Awards 2024. Added to this is the recent nomination of the Tony García Espacio Gastronómico restaurant - run by Cellbitec Foundation Ambassador Tony García - for the We're Smart Discovery Awards, which will be awarded on 12 November in Valencia, during the presentation of a new edition of the ranking of the 100 best plant-based restaurants in the world.

Luxembourgish plant-based chef René Mathieu, a world-renowned chef with his restaurant La Distillerie, also made one of the dishes with Bínu that was served at the awards ceremony, which was attended by more than 200 people, at the Wereldmuseum in Rotterdam. Mathieu highlighted the characteristics that make Bínu unique: “It is very tasty and versatile, with a surprising interplay of textures and flavours in the mouth.”
