Created in 2008 in response to the lack of education around heritage breed pigs, the event series started from a thread of conversations where family farmers struggled to educate chefs, restaurants looked to source exceptional ingredients, and consumers sought out responsibly raised proteins. They all converged into one idea: the ultimate quest of flavor.
The seven-year old flagship COCHON555 tour is celebrated as the world’s first environmentally conscious nose-to-tail pig competition celebrating fine-dining and the pillars of our culinary landscape. Every year, an epic 10-city culinary tour starts in New York City and culminates with the finale, Grand Cochon, in Snowmass, Colorado, the same weekend as the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. Immediately following Grand Cochon, the tour turns to a series of events dedicated to old-world cooking, Heritage Fire (fire-cooking event) and Heritage BBQ (global BBQ exhibition).
