Norway is the country with the most medals in the Bocuse d'Or
Since 1987, Norway has participated in the Bocuse d'Or World Final 15 times with the best results. With 11 podium finishes from 2020, Norway is the country with the most medals in the Bocuse d'Or. It must be added that with one medal more than France, the host country.
The Scandinavian countries have already organized this event twice. The championships were held in Stavanger in 2008 and Stockholm in 2014, and in 2024 it was the turn of Trondheim.
A great joy among the Norwegians at the end of this year's competition in Budapest was caused by awarding Norway and Trondheim with the organization of this event. Project manager at Oi! Trøndelag Food and Drink, Kristine Rise, is excited about this event in the food capital of Norway.
