"Our Norwegian friends have contributed a great deal to the development and reputation of the competition, and their chefs and supporters are proof of this, underlines Jérôme Bocuse, President of the Bocuse d'Or. We are very happy that the next European selection will take place in Trondheim, Norway. The DNA of the Bocuse d’Or is to highlight the different culinary riches of the world and it is therefore only natural that it moves to a different European city for each edition.”
Heidi Bjerkan, a native of Norway and a starred chef committed to the environment, was Honorary President of this year’s event and witnessed the work of the 20 European competing teams, who had to work with typically Norwegian products.
It’s such an honour to be Honorary President of this prestigious competition, where chefs inspire each other! I think it’s important to think about the impact that chefs can have on other cooks. Transmission and knowledge are the keys to the future, and we’re using the knowledge of the past to improve that future”

The teams have 5h30to prepare the competition’s two emblematic tests : the plate and the platter. To embed the competition on the territory, the Bocuse d'Or has chosen to impose this year local and emblematic products of this Arctic region.
RENNE & AQUAVIT, HIGHLLIGHT OF THE NORWEGIAN LAND
For the plate, the candidates had to work the reindeer meat of Røros , flagship product of the Sami culture, resulting from a breeding tradition while respecting nature and traditions. Other specificity, they had to incorporate aquavit in their recipes, the national spirit of Norway.
For this test, the chefs had to create a recipe to surprise and seduce, through a restaurant plate.
- Aquavit -supplied by LINIE-is made from caraway from the Trondheim region. After distillation, LINIE aquavit is matured at sea in sherry oak casks,crossing the equator twice, hence giving it its name LINIE. The constant stirring by the sea and changes in temperature and weather give LINIE aquavit its distinctive, well-balanced taste. The brand has its roots from the Lysholm family in Trondheim, being invented in the hay days of Norwegian spirits production. LINIE aquavit is a perfect match with both food and cocktails, and is an important part of Norwegian heritage, traditions and culture.
- Reindeer meat is an integral part of Norwegian Lapland cuisine, with the Sami having acquired the historic right to manage reindeer herding. The Sami reindeer herding industry is a pastoral and nomadic industry with seasonal movements between different seasonal pastures, providing sustainable food production in team with nature. Chefs were able to choose from a range of cuts, including shanks, tongues and steaks of reindeer.
SKREI AND SCALLOPS: THE EMBLEMATIC BOCUSE D’OR PLATTER WILL CELEBRATE NORWEGIAN SEAFOOD!
For the platter theme, the candidates were asked to cook skrei, a typical Northern European cod, and Frøya scallops.
Identifiable both visually and by their flavour, these products were accompanied by 3 garnishes presented on the platter: 2 exclusively vegetable, with no meat, fish or seafood, and one based on traditional Norwegian stockfish, made from cod slowly dried in the open air.
In their recipes, the teams had to include at least one ingredient identifiable with the taste of the country they represent, as a strong marker of their culinary heritage.
Pour l’assiette, les candidats ont dû travailler la viande de renne de la région de Røros, incontournable produit de la culture Sami, issu d’une tradition d’élevage tout en respect de la nature et des traditions. Originalité supplémentaire, ils ont dû incorporer à leurs recettes l’aquavit, l’eau de vie nationale de Norvège.
Pour cette épreuve, les chefs ont dû créer une recette pour surprendre et séduire, au travers d’une assiette de restaurant.
- L’aquavit - fournie par LINIE - est élaborée à partir de carvi provenant de la région de Trondheim. Après distillation, l’aquavit LINIE est le seul à être affiné en fûts avant de maturer par la suite en pleine mer, traversant l’équateur par deux fois. Le brassage constant par la mer, les changements de températures et de temps donnent ce goût si particulier et équilibré. LINIE est une société née à Trondheim où elle fut créée dans les glorieuses années des spiritueux norvégiens. Aujourd’hui l’Aquavit LINIE fait partie du patrimoine, des traditions et de la culture de Norvège.
- La viande de renne quand à elle fait partie intégrante de la cuisine de Laponie norvégienne, les samis ayant acquis le droit historique de gérer l’élevage de rennes. L’élevage de rennes Sami est une industrie pastorale et nomade avec des mouvements saisonniers entre différents pâturages, permettant une production durable dans le respect le plus total de la nature. Les chefs ont eu à disposition plusieurs pièces, à savoir le jarret, la langue ou bien le steak.
SKREI ET SAINT JACQUES, LES SAVEURS DE LA MER DE NORVÈGE
Pour le thème plateau, les candidats ont été appelés à cuisiner le skrei, cabillaud typique du Nord de l’Europe et les coquilles Saint-Jacques de Frøya.
Identifiables aussi bien visuellement que par leur saveur, ces produits étaient accompagnés de 3 garnitures présentées sur le plateau : 2 exclusivement végétales, sans viande, poisson ou fruit de mer et une à base de stockfish traditionnel de Norvège, élaboré à partir de morue séchée lentement à l'air libre.
Dans leurs recettes, les équipes ont également dû introduire au moins un ingrédient identifiable au goût du pays qu'elles représentent, comme le marqueur fort de leur héritage culinaire.

LINIE Aquavit is the world’s most famous aquavit, and the original cask matured Norwegian aquavit. It is distilled in pot stills using a special blend of spices that gives it its unique flavour profile. The main spice, caraway is locally sourced at Inderøya in Trondheim region. The nutrious soil and long, yet cold, summers gives a very high concentration of flavour in the caraway seed, making it perfect for aquavit production. After distillation, the aquavit is matured in Oloroso sherry casks embarking on a long sea journey, crossing the equator twice. As a result, it acquires a remarkably smooth and well-rounded taste with prominent notes of caraway and star anise, along with delicate hints of vanilla and sherry. The unique maturation process combining the Nordic flavours and the influence of the sea creates a spirit that is worth exploring and enjoying in the company of good friends and unforgettable moments.
The Bocuse d'Or Winners Association was founded in 2000 with the support of Maison Rougié. Its primary purpose is to bring together all chefs who have stood on the podium at the final.

La Norvège possède une variété unique de fruits de mer savoureux provenant de ses eaux froides et claires. Ils sont récoltés, pêchés et produits par les personnes les plus expérimentées et les plus engagées, dans le respect de notre planète. Le Gulf Stream, qui transporte les eaux chaudes du golfe du Mexique jusqu'à l'océan Atlantique, coule vers le nord le long de la côte norvégienne et se jette dans les eaux froides et propres de l'Arctique. Cette situation crée les conditions idéales pour un écosystème marin incroyablement riche. Petits poissons, gros poissons, crustacés et autres formes de vie. Certaines sont des populations locales, d'autres migrent ou sont de passage depuis le monde entier. Certains préfèrent les mers froides et ouvertes, d'autres vivent dans les fjords calmes et profonds, protégés par un mur d'îles et d'écueils. Certains chassent, d'autres sont chassés - d'en bas et d'en haut. Chacun joue son rôle dans le cycle complexe et fascinant de la vie marine.
La variété des produits de la mer issus de cet environnement est tout simplement unique. C'est l'une des principales raisons pour lesquelles la Norvège est le deuxième exportateur mondial de produits de la mer. C'est aussi pour cette raison que les chefs et les connaisseurs du monde entier choisissent les fruits de mer de Norvège.
