Long neglected by cooks and overshadowed by uninspiring industrial production, this dish has regained its former prestige. And for good reason. Once perceived by some as a hearty but inelegant starter, this dish requires delicate and perfectly mastered preparation. Today, it is back in the spotlight, between high-end caterers and renowned chefs who dare to take on this specialty that is far more complicated to make than it seems. And indeed an international competition was needed to<strong> honor the best p\u00e2t\u00e9 en cro\u00fbte on the planet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"401\" data-end=\"1051\">\n<p data-start=\"401\" data-end=\"1051\">\n<p data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1865\">For 16 years now, the competition has attracted great Houses, chefs, and the most prestigious charcutiers from around the world. An exceptional jury, composed of emblematic figures of gastronomy, is assembled to evaluate them. For the 2025 edition, the competition was chaired by Franck Giovannini of the Restaurant de l\u2019H\u00f4tel de Ville*** in Crissier (Switzerland), and the jury included, among others, Meilleurs Ouvriers de France: Fabien Pairon (MOF Charcutier), Christophe Roure (MOF Chef), Joseph Viola (MOF Chef), Mathieu Viannay (MOF Chef), Gilles Reinhardt (MOF Chef), Michel Roth (MOF Chef), as well as gastronomic personalities: Yvonne Christenssen, owner of G\u00e9ranium***, Melissa Djabourian, President of the Charcutiers of Greater Paris and working at Maison Delaye, and the journalist Vincent Ferniot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_183745\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-183745\" style=\"width: 1440px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-183745\" title=\"\u00a9JodiHinds PCWinner\" src=\"https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u00a9JodiHinds__PCWinner-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9JodiHinds PCWinner\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2560\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-183745\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jodi Hinds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1867\" data-end=\"1933\">The leading competition in the culinary world honors a French chef<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1935\" data-end=\"2410\"><strong>Thibault Gonzales impressed the audience on December 1st<\/strong>, 2025 by winning the famous competition.
