Since 1922, Valrhona has embodied the responsible artisan of gastronomy, putting all its expertise into the selection and transformation of cacao to offer gastronomy professionals with a wide aromatic palette of chocolate couvertures that are responsibly, sustainably, and ethically produced.
The Global Chefs Challenge is where the world’s top chefs meet to compete. Catch the action live in Abu Dhabi. Registration information including an Early Bird special is available at www.worldchefscongress.org/register.

Paris, 23 of December 2021- Worldchefs is pleased to announce a partnership with Valrhona, the visionary market leader in chocolate. Valrhona joins as an Official Partner and exclusive chocolate sponsor of the Global Chefs Challenge Finals at Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2022, taking place in Abu Dhabi from 30 May to 2 June.

A partner of taste artisans since 1922, and a pioneer and specialist in the world of chocolate, Valrhona defines itself today as a company whose mission statement “Together, good becomes better,” conveys the strength of its commitment. Together with its employees, chefs, and cocoa producers, Valrhona creates the best in chocolate to shift the status quo towards a fairer, more sustainable cocoa industry and gastronomy that tastes great, looks great and does great things for the world.

Building long-term partnerships directly with cocoa producers, sharing know-how and seeking for the next chocolate innovation are the challenges that drive Valrhona to do better every day. Working alongside chefs, Valrhona promotes craftsmanship and supports them in their quest for uniqueness by constantly pushing the limits of creativity.

Thanks to its ongoing advocacy for this purpose, Valrhona is proud to have obtained the very demanding B Corporation® certification in January 2020.

This distinction emphasizes Valrhona’s “Live Long” sustainable development strategy, marked by the desire to co-construct a model with a positive impact for producers, employees, taste artisans, and all chocolate enthusiasts.

Choosing Valrhona means committing to responsible chocolate made only from cocoa that can be traced back to the producer. 100% of cocoa beans can be traced back to the producer, which provides the assurance of knowing where the cocoa came from, who harvested it, and that it was produced in good conditions. Choosing Valrhona means committing to a chocolate that respects both people and the planet.

“Worldchefs is proud to partner with Valrhona. Congress always marks an opportunity to work together to strengthen our shared values in the industry and beyond,” says Ragnar Fridriksson, Worldchefs Managing Director. “We look forward seeing the world’s best chefs and pastry chefs create masterpieces that reflect Valrhona’s mission to imagine the best of chocolate.”

Castello Monte Vibiano Signs as Worldchefs Global Partner and Official Partner of Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2022

Castello Monte Vibiano has renewed as a Global Partner and Official Partner of Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2022, taking place in Abu Dhabi from 30 May to 2 June.
Castello Monte Vibiano produces the world’s most awarded olive oil, and is an industry leader in sustainability – the first agricultural business in the world to receive Zero CO2 Emissions certification.
The world’s top chefs will have access to Monte Vibiano products for their masterful creations in the prestigious Global Chefs Challenge in Abu Dhabi. Find more information and register to attend with Early Bird rates until December 31^st at www.worldchefscongress.org/register.

Paris, 21 of December 2021 – Worldchefs has announced a renewed partnership with Castello Monte Vibiano, Worldchefs Global Partners and Official Partner of the Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2022. Castello Monte Vibiano’s award-winning olive oil will be available to chefs during the Global Chefs Challenge Finals, taking place in Abu Dhabi from 30 May to 2 June 2022.

Castello Monte Vibiano is grounded in family heritage, celebrated winemaking, and award-winning olive oil production. The long-established vision of the Fasola Bologna family estate began with the founder planting ten thousand trees to surround the estate’s agricultural land. Today those trees offer a natural “green embrace” that proudly and protectively occupy over 30% of the estate.

Castello Monte Vibiano’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond the preservation of the lands of the estate. In 1998, they launched the 360 Green Revolution project, rethinking every facet of their operations from photovoltaic panels to biodiesel to solar-reflective paint for roofs. In 2009, Castello di Monte Vibiano became the first agricultural business in the world to receive UNI ISO 14064 certification from the Norwegian institute DNV (Det Norske Veritas), representing the highest standards and zero-impact production in terms of CO2 emissions.

The quality of the Castello Monte Vibiano philosophy is matched by the purity of their products. Castello Monte Vibiano is also the first company in the world to have DNA certification of their olives which guarantees the total tracking of oil origin for the consumer. An expression of the region’s biodiversity, Castello Monte Vibiano’s extra virgin olive oil represents twelve rare 100% genetically-certified Italian cultivars. All the olives are cultivated with patience, and harvested by hand before being pressed at a low temperature to preserve the organoleptic properties of the fruit. Thislengthy process combines passion and human dedication with technology to obtain an oil with a light, delicate taste, and the most awarded olive oil in history.

Over two decades ago, Monte Vibiano launched Vibianini EVOO Monodose Unfiltered. Monodose-sized at 10ml to prevent oxidation and deterioration, this product delivers the fine characteristics and freshness of the just-pressed, unfiltered EVOO and matte green color. Each serving is packaged in a recyclable, glass monodose bottle, and is extremely easy to store and serve. Amid the global pandemic, this single-serving olive oil provides a safe solution to restaurants and diners around the globe. “Monte Vibiano represents the very best in olive oil,” says Ragnar Fridriksson, Worldchefs Managing Director. “Their longstanding family heritage, vision, and pioneering efforts in sustainable agriculture and viticulture provide a blueprint for business with world-class values. Our Global Chefs Challenge competitors will have the very best ingredients thanks to the support of Castello Monte Vibiano.”

International Chefs Day 2021 Results Are In!

A message from Vanessa Marquis, CEC AAC, Chairman of Worldchefs International Chefs Day Committee

The new norm has brought us hesitancy to be around others. Many families in parts of the world have chosen to keep their children homeschooled. Our connection to one another seems to be through social media and technology. But I am very proud to say that many of you still made efforts to continue Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher’s vision for International Chefs Day. I want to thank everyone who took a moment in October to share his vision with your child, your students, and your community while still being unsure of our health safety.

It has been heartwarming to see your pictures and videos during the last few weeks. The smiles on your faces and the smiles on the children’s faces are priceless. Chef Emmanuel Lorieux and Nestlé Professional did a fantastic job revising the toolkit to gear this year’s campaign, Healthy Food for the Future, towards online classes, and provided great ingredients to focus on our well-needed healthy immune system. Children had a chance to cook with you and taste delicious recipes that were all plant-based and sustainable.

This International Chefs Day was another successful year. We still had many challenges, but chefs came through to make events possible if their cities allowed it. So I want to thank all the chefs who participated in events, got creative to find a way to reach children with fun videos, sent prepared samples to schools, and held live Zoom calls to reach as many children as possible! One last thank you to Worldchefs President Thomas Gugler, the International Chefs Day Committee, and the Worldchefs Office.

*Results of International Chefs Day 2022*

Words from Chefs Worldwide

Jolanta Gervienė
Lithuanian Chefs and Confectioners Association

“This project indirectly is a dream of my childhood: to become a primary school teacher. During classes with children, I have fun combining a dream with a beloved (and favorite) job. I enjoy talking about a healthy diet and cooking at the same time. I believe dreams can come true. It is very heartwarming to look at children’s sincere emotions, questions and funny answers during this project. After each lesson I receive positive feedback and feel that I’m doing something purposeful. I can see that in the eyes of every child and hear it in the honest word THANK YOU, followed by the question: When can you come again?”

Philippe Frydman
South African Chefs Association

“International Chefs Day allows us to reflect on what we have done and what still needs to be done in our industry, whatever part of it we are involved. It also gives recognition to our chosen careers.

Just to see the joy on all those young faces, and sometime we get extra lucky and manage to find a pearl amongst them that finds their true calling and realizes that this is what he or she wants to do for the rest of their life! There is nothing better and that is why we should be doing this.”

Emmanuel Lorieux
Nestlé Professional

“This project indirectly is a dream of my childhood: to become a primary school teacher. During I think that for us, Worldchefs and Nestlé Professional, International Chefs Day is very important in many ways. First, I would say that it’s our duty to educate the future generations on healthy and sustainable eating and that also we use our power of the white jacket and professionalism to bring credibility and relevancy to the content of the campaign. Also we are not only educating children, but also their parents as well through the virtual materials shared with them!”

Robin Austin
Scottish Chefs

“What can I say! What a fantastic day we had with the pupils from Castle Brae High School in Edinburgh. They made Tropical Green Smoothies and a plant-based wholemeal pasta bolognaise. The pupils had a great time and enjoyed using fresh, healthy ingredients. They invited the Head of School along to taste the food and she was delighted with the flavor, color and texture. We were privileged to be working with such a fantastic school. They have amazing pupils that cook from their heart.”

Thanks to everyone who helped in making this year another success!
