Contest Rules
Grupo Gourmets, together with the Bergara Foundation, is launching the Flavours of Big Game Meat Flavours Championship by Bergara Foundation, a competition that seeks to promote the consumption of big game meat, whose nutritional qualities, versatility, flavour and texture make it a widely used ingredient in countless cold dishes, pâtés and stews.
The 38th Salon Gourmets was the stage where the Best Big Game Chef in Spain was chosen, who had to demonstrate his or her mastery in creating a unique recipe that surprises with its flavour, originality and treatment of the product.
The Bergara Foundation recognises the fundamental role of game in the management of wildlife and ecosystems, making its meat an emblem of healthy and sustainable food. Through research and the promotion of responsible hunting practices, they contribute to controlling species populations and maintaining ecological balance. Their work focuses on ensuring that hunting is an effective tool for the sustainable management of natural resources and the conservation of biodiversity.
Thanks to the financing of projects such as traceability or training for catering schools, among others, the foundation wants to focus on wild meat as the ultimate goal of hunting, but also because it contributes to the sustainable management of ecosystems, biodiversity, and a more respectful and natural food production with the environment.
