San Pellegrino brand scouts and promotes talents globally by promotion of young chefs (30 y.o. or less). The aim is to support and enhance fine dining culture around the world by identifying talented young chefs in order to celebrate and further develop their skills. San Pellegrino Young Chef is consistent with the SP positioning as trend setter brand and Ambassador of fine dining and fine living in the world. The final stop will be the opportunity to cook on the international platform of the San Pellegrino Young Chef 2018 Grand Finale in Milan, where a top jury will crown the best young chef in the world.
