Global
Food Heritage Awards Honorees
"Food
history is as important as a Baroque
church. Governments should
recognize this cultural heritage
and protect traditional foods.
A cheese is as worthy of preserving
as a 16th century building."

France
The
people of France win the first national
award for their successful dedication
to preserving their culinary traditions
and history at all levels, through national
initiatives such as Sites Remarquables
du Gout, Sites of Exceptional Culinary
Taste, as well as regional food-focussed
tourism undertakings. France boasts
more food-related museums and sites
than any other country. The French
people's continuing love of their land,
farm and food traditions is manifest
in their support of countless societies
dedicated to promotion of local specialites,
their patronage of local fresh food
markets, and their willingness to financially
sustain rural areas and quality food
ingredients. Here are some of
the many examples of French Food Heritage
Sites.
