Christophe Prud’homme, founder of Gourmet Consultancy, explained, “This partnership goes beyond products because authenticity increasingly shapes regional gastronomy today. Olive oil defines structure, identity and emotion while bringing meaningful Mediterranean culinary philosophy throughout evolving regional dining experiences today.”
