For this initiative Dénia has had the support of the three Michelin star chef Quique Dacosta, who in a promotional video invites the members of the summit to "jointly develop a creative bet to promote these traditional mountain products", ensuring that there are products "that have disappeared or are about to do so and that we must try to recover and preserve, because they give us food, culture and history."

Present at the video presentation were the mayor of Dénia, Ana Kringe, the councilor for Local Agenda 21, Vicente Chelet and the vice president of the Consell, José Císcar. The latter highlighted the importance of Dénia being the only European city member of this alliance and congratulated the council for the initiative and for highlighting the Montgó de la Amno de Quique Dacosta.
