Pödör offered a delight for all senses at the Zurheide Gourmet Festival 2018

On September 16th, 2018 it was distinguished, 3 Michelin-star master chef Thomas Bühner who represented PÖDÖR at the Zurheide Gourmet Festival.  The festival of the famous Dusseldorf „experience store” – with its tickets sold out within a month – offered for its 1500 guests the best of culinary delights, provided by a host of Michelin star chefs and master chefs as well as by its various gourmet partners.

Thomas Bühner prepared one of his classics, awaiting his guests with a gazpacho made from fermented beetroot. The beetroot itself came from the garden of the Ippenburg castle, and was fermented in a wine cellar for three weeks prior to preparation. At the festival, Thomas Bühner crowned his delicious gazpacho with pistachio oil freshly pressed at the PÖDÖR stand.

Freshly pressed oil – a great culinary moment

Thomas Bühner enthused about the experience of testing the freshly pressed oil, calling it an „incredible culinary moment”. And the guests of the 2018 Zurheide Gourmet Festival were offered the privilege of following in the footsteps of the master chef: they could taste and smell the intensive flavor of the oils freshly pressed at PÖDÖR’s stand. More than that, they could also enjoy a live demonstration of the pressing procedure, thanks to the mobile piston press machine developed by PÖDÖR for the specific purpose of explaining and presenting the key to success in the production of top quality culinary oils.
