This move is fuelled primarily by the country enjoying the European Region of Gastronomy title in 2021, a decision said to have been helped along by Slovenia’s sustainable gastronomy initiatives and 24 culinary and wine-growing regions.
“All our efforts towards sustainability played an important role in Slovenia being selected for the European Region of Gastronomy,” said Maja Pak, director of the Slovenian tourist board.
The organisation has recently announced a Slovenia Green Cuisine label, which is designed to celebrate culinary practices and invites local chefs to follow seven key principles in their work.
