Saudi Arabia To Showcase Culinary Heritage At Taste Of Paris 2025
Saudi Arabia, through its Culinary Arts Commission, will participate in the prestigious Taste of Paris event from May 8 to 11, 2025, presenting a dedicated pavilion titled 'Taste of Saudi Culture' to highlight the Kingdom's rich and diverse gastronomic heritage. As one of 11 sector-specific bodies under the Ministry of Culture, the Culinary Arts Commission will feature live cooking stations and tastings alongside three immersive heritage-inspired spaces. Each room draws from distinct elements of Saudi tradition: the desert and central region architecture; the serenity of oases and vibrancy of traditional markets; and the warmth of the Saudi majlis, recognized by UNESCO since 2015 as intangible cultural heritage. The interactive experience will include sensory games, tastings, and gustatory illusions designed to engage visitors and deepen their appreciation for Saudi cuisine. Dates, a key symbol of Saudi culinary culture, will be the central ingredient across the pavilion's offerings. Dishes include a modern twist on Jareesh, lamb with date molasses, Balilah, date-infused ice cream, ricotta and date kunafah, and French desserts reimagined with Saudi flavors. Visitors will also explore curated pairings of Saudi date varieties with cheeses and sample Saudi coffee in both traditional and innovative forms.
