In addition to the current competition plate, Villeroy & Boch will again produce a Bocuse d’Or collector’s plate in limited edition, which all the finalists and the guests of the gala dinner will receive on the night of the finale.
Once again in the 2016/2017 Bocuse d’Or competition, Villeroy & Boch is an active partner and is providing the official competition plate, which this time comes from the new Artesano Professionale collection. The impressively designed plate offers the chefs plenty of space for the sophisticated presentation of their creations thanks to the size and simple, but surprising design. The flatware from the Villeroy & Boch series Oscar and glasses from the Purismo series complete the table setting.
Every two years, the best chefs in the world meet in Lyon for the Bocuse d’Or to test their culinary skills, and the big finale will take place on January 24 and 25 2017. The finalists must first get through national and regional qualifying rounds, for example in the European Final, which takes place on May 10 and 11 in Budapest. The national qualifying rounds have already taken place in some countries, and others are approaching in the coming months.
In addition to the current competition plate, Villeroy & Boch will again produce a Bocuse d’Or collector’s plate in limited edition, which all the finalists and the guests of the gala dinner will receive on the night of the finale. The special décor comes, as is tradition, from the hand of French artist and designer Alain Vavro. Since 1995 he has designed the décor for the collector’s plate, which is always personally approved by Paul Bocuse.
Villeroy & Boch has been as a “membre associé du Bocuse d’Or” closely connected to the renowned cooking competition for many years. “We are happy to once again this year be part of the Bocuse d’Or. Every year we are excited to see new culinary trends from all over the world and the creative ideas of the participants on our plates. The dish series Artesano Professionale offers the participants a suitable stage upon which they can present their creations,” said Nicolas Luc Villeroy, Board Member for Tableware at Villeroy & Boch.
