Every two years, the final of the Bocuse d’Or contest is held in Lyon, France – the home city of the event’s founder, Chef Paul Bocuse. After several months of preparations, twenty-four of the most promising young chefs in the world meet for two days of intense competition. The final brings together chefs who have won competitions in their national and then continental selection events: Bocuse Europe, Bocuse Asia-Pacific and Bocuse Latin America.
“Mauviel, a family owned business since its creation in 1830 in Villedieu les Poêles Manche, is the lead sponsor in this culminating event,” explains Valerie Le Guern Gilbert, the 7th generation Mauviel at the helm of the Company. “This event is significant for us because acclaimed chefs have used our cookware in the privacy of their professional and personal kitchens for more than 184 years. Bocuse d’Or, the Olympics of the culinary world, takes our cookware out of these working kitchens and places it onto the world stage for all to see.”
