Villeroy & Boch is once again a partner of the prestigious cooking contest, the Culinary World Cup.
For the fourth time – after 2010, 2014 and 2018 – Villeroy & Boch is once again lending its name to the “Villeroy & Boch Culinary World Cup” as a cooperation partner. As well as de-fining the title, Villeroy & Boch will also be providing the porcelain for the restaurants in the contest. The prestigious international culinary contest will take place in conjunction with the gastronomy trade fair EXPOGAST from 26th to 30th November 2022 in Luxembourg-Kirch-berg.
Behind the scenes, the preparations have already begun: at the end of March 2022, Burkhard Schmidt, Sales Director Hospitality, and Georges Schmitz, Key Account Manager Interna-tional, met with the organisers of the “Villeroy & Boch Culinary World Cup” in the porcelain manufacturer’s hospitality showrooms in Luxembourg. Ben Weber, president of the Vatel Club Luxembourg, and Alain Hostert, vice president, selected three different plates from the suc-cessful The Rock collection for this year’s event. “We are convinced that these plates will provide a fantastic stage for the creations of the culinary national teams and junior national teams,” comments Burkhard Schmidt. “This coloured-through premium porcelain collection stands out with a natural slate look in white and black and is an ideal choice for this competi-tion. The design of the plates will provide maximum scope for creative presentations by the international chefs. Once again, this promises to be the absolute visual and taste highlight at the end of the year!”
