Catalan cooking asserts itself worldwide: a tribute to those who make it possible

On Monday 30 June the Palau de la Música filled with passion, talent and collective pride at the launch of the new "Catalonia, the world's best cuisine" campaign, an explicit recognition of our country's potential as a global food-and-wine power.

The campaign, run by the Catalan Government through the Catalan Tourist Board, gives visibility for the first time, collectively, to the people who make Catalan culinary excellence possible: prestigious chefs, restaurateurs, maîtres, farmers, fishers, livestock breeders, processors, winegrowers and professionals from across the value chain.

An iconic photograph — a large table shared by 140 culinary figures including chefs, producers, farmers and restaurateurs — symbolises the strength of a collective, rooted and unifying sector. A cuisine built from the land and the territory, projected to the world with authenticity, creativity and commitment.

The international recognition of Catalan cooking would not be possible without the rigorous, constant and dedicated work of the agri-food sector's professionals. Thanks to them Catalonia can say, with pride and ambition, that it has one of the world's best cuisines.

The campaign is part of the set of activities being run under the distinction Catalonia, World Region of Gastronomy 2025, aiming to consolidate a sustainable, territorially balanced tourism model linked to food and wine as a strategic driver of development.

Because Catalonia does not only have the world's best cuisine. Above all it has the best professionals to make it possible.
