Médaille d'Or 2026 for Lin des Pyrénées at Best of Gastronomie

It is with immense pride that we share this excellent news with you: Lin des Pyrénées has just received a new Médaille d’Or 2026 (Gold Medal) within the international Best of Gastronomie & Best of Hôtellerie network. An award that crowns years of passionate work around a 100% Pyrenean flax supply chain, built on excellence, singularity and indulgence.

Recognition of collaborative work

Beyond our premium products - linseed oil, flaxseed flour, seeds and kibbled flaxseed - this award above all rewards a committed collective: partner farmers, ambassador chefs, artisans, delicatessens and lovers of quality products who keep the identity of a terroir alive. It follows on from our previous award from the World Gastronomy Organisation.

A committed, sincere and sustainable approach

Since our beginnings, we have championed a clear vision of gastronomy: sourced, traceable and respectful of living things. What won over the Best of Gastronomie 2026 jury was the consistency between our products and our approach:

• Local farming, with a low impact on soils and biodiversity.
• 100% local supply chain "Origine 100 % Pyrénées": from seed to plate.
• Our growing practices: zero plant protection products, zero waste, no irrigation across the entire value chain.
• A constant quest for excellence: authenticity, singularity, refinement and indulgence.

It is this high standard that allows us to reveal the full nutritional richness and quintessence of oilseed flax in a "nutrition, health and pleasure" approach. To better understand our philosophy, rediscover our story of vintages, territories, textures and flavours.

A 2026 that shines well beyond the Pyrenees

This gold medal comes on top of a year rich in encounters and recognition. We had the joy of taking Lin des Pyrénées to the foot of the Eiffel Tower, of taking part in the sensory and gourmet getaway of the Salon du Bon with chef Thierry Marx, and of championing our vision of an artisanal intelligence, the driving force of excellence and connection. So many milestones that strengthen the place of Pyrenean oilseed flax in French and international gastronomy.
