The Collège Culinaire de France label recognizes quality products, made in France and according to select standards, that contribute to the country’s rich culinary heritage. France, rich in artisanal expertise, organic products, and unique cultural regions, is celebrated around the world for its cuisine. To preserve this rich gastronomic culture, 15 internationally renowned French chiefs founded the Collège Culinaire de France label in 2011.
This institution recognizes the influence of French culture and gastronomy and highlights the craftsmanship in select French products. The College strives to showcase a diverse range of French food, food that is grown and produced using traditional artisanal methods.
