BO Ilersis, the food brand of Fundació Ilersis —formerly known as BO de Shalom— is expanding its range with local products in collaboration with brands from the region such as Torrons i Mel Alemany and Agro Codi 0.
The new products include extra virgin olive oil from its estate in Alcoletge, fig jam with cinnamon and vermouth, and apple jam, as well as an apple compote with ginger honey made in collaboration with Alemany.
In all, around a dozen products, including new additions such as roast hen broth, developed jointly with Agro Codi 0, vegetable broth and a tomato sauce.
In addition to its caramelised almonds, its range of nuts is also growing with hazelnuts from Reus, walnuts from La Noguera, pistachios from Les Garrigues and caramelised sunflower seeds.
Furthermore, as part of the La Recepta Verda project, and in collaboration with the chef Sergi de Meià, BO Ilersis is developing a caramelised almond and miso toffee, a spread that makes use of the by-products generated during the production of its caramelised nuts.
With this expansion, BO Ilersis strengthens its commitment to local products and provides stable employment for around forty people with disabilities or in vulnerable situations.
