A word from the Director Imagine Switzerland; visualize its mountains, its lakes, its chocolate, its cows and its watches. Are you there yet ? These typical clichés are a showcase of our beautiful country and contribute greatly to our international reputation. They are also partially responsible for our success. Nevertheless, in my mind, gustative Switzerland has yet to evolve and reach its true greatness. The country must learn to associate traditions with current trends, explore gastronomical innovation, and meet the demands of different markets. This is precisely the goal of SwissTasting®. In order to attain that goal, countless hours were spent approa-
ching different flavours, allowing us to create our own signature style by redefining authentic clichés without weakening them. With SwissTasting®, my goal is to offer you a piece of Switzerland to take with you. I sought to create a contemporary concept that allows us to share the best of Swiss flavours with the world. Born from my entrepreneurial keenness, SwissTasting® was created. Your senses will cherish it ! Arnaud Schaller Director

A word from the President What is it that motivates a politician/specialized doctor in public health and a young person from the canton of Valais to start a gastronomical journey through Swiss flavours ? Arnaud Schaller has truly impressed me with his new, innovative and original idea. The consciousness of the predominant role that nourishment has in our societies, and the desire to share the authentic flavours of our soil with Switzerland and the outside world is audacious and smart. Even more so, it’s the taste for innovation, the desire of daring to accomplish, the whim of overcoming obstacles, the ardour for seeking out new ideas, and the overall urge of undertaking.
SwissTasting® is an innovative way to understand Switzerland. It’s the brainchild born from the union of experience and art. It’s the uninhibited expression in itself of an aesthetic Switzerland delicately combining legend and modernity. It’s an act of love for an open and engaging Switzerland.
Ignazio Cassis President
