Çorum culinary heritage showcase in Spain
Overview
The city of Çorum, Turkey, is participating in the San Sebastian Gastronomika event in Spain to showcase its ancient culinary heritage. As the first and only city to receive a special municipal-level invitation, the city aims to introduce its food culture, which traces back to the Hittite era, to international chefs, researchers, and industry professionals.
During the event, the Çorum gastronomy stand features over 40 products, many with geographical indication status, alongside traditional handicrafts such as hand-woven carpets and İskilip silk fabrics. The program includes live cooking demonstrations and a reception at Miramar Palace. These efforts are part of the ‘GastroÇorum’ project, a strategic move intended to support the city’s goal of joining the UNESCO Creative Cities Network for gastronomy.
