Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate receives culinary award
The city of Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate has prevailed in a nationwide competition and was honored with the title "Leaving location 2024". This title is awarded to municipalities that promote regional culinary arts through the cooperation of various actors. As part of the award ceremony, nutritionist Michaela Kaniber was enthusiastic about the diversity and quality of the submitted applications.
a competition with clear criteria
In April 2023, the Bavarian Ministry of Nutrition started the tender for this competition. A jury selected the most successful concepts from a total of 86 applications. The criteria included the craftsmanship of food production and the urban range of enjoyment. The jury works specifically for categories in which local restaurateurs, producers and other organizations can work together.
meaning for the local community
The award as a "pleasure location" not only has a meaning for the city itself, but also influences the awareness of the community for regional products. According to Minister Kaniber, the “strains” help to get to know the culinary wealth of Bavaria and the associated traditions better. Gastronomy and food production are therefore in exchange and strengthen local economic growth.
a confirmation of regional traditions
It should be emphasized that not only new gastronomies have been awarded this year, but also renewed their award previously awarded "pleasure variety". This shows the constant quality and the commitment of the actors on site. It becomes clear that Bavarian culinary delights are very important and develops through constant innovations.
The ceremonial presentation of the award
The ceremonial award ceremony took place in the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Tourism in Munich in early September. A total of 44 cities and municipalities were recognized as a "pleasure location 2024". The competition contributions show how important it is to promote regional food and traditions in order to give future generations a awareness of enjoyable nutrition.
By recognizing as a "pleasure location", Neumarkt not only positions itself as a goal for gourmets, but also sets a sign of the importance of domestic agriculture and gastronomy. The award could also serve as an impulse for other municipalities to deal more intensively with the topics of regionality and enjoyment.
