Why to import Gofio from Spain?

Why to import gofio from Spain?  The gofio is one of the most traditional foods and a hallmark of the Canary Islands (Spain). It also has the recognition of the European Union. The leader of ICCA (Instituto Canario de Calidad Agroalimentaria) said that "we have a product that proves that it is a great tradition in our Islands, a product with wide possibilities in the future".

A singular product

Currently the Tender Documents of the Geographical Indication (Pliego de Condiciones de la Indicación Geográfica) defines it, as "the product obtained in the resulting Canary Islands from grinding toasted cereals with or without the addition of sea salt" and specifies that "can be supplemented with legumes to which they are subjected to the same treatment as grain."
