Grønn - Green Oils in the spotlight:
award winner Product Award at the Culinary Innovators 2025.

At Culinary Innovators 2025, Grønn made a lasting impression by taking home the Product Award ‘Food’. Their range of green herb and vegetable oils exemplifies sustainable innovation: pure, fresh, and free from additives. What began as an innovative kitchen solution has evolved into a full-fledged product line that has earned its place in the kitchens of many chefs.

A Chef’s frustration turned innovation

Grønn was born out of a familiar frustration in the kitchen: why is it that a basic ingredient like herb oil, something chefs often make themselves, is nowhere to be found in a high-quality, ready-to-use form? Instead of waiting for a solution, the team behind Grønn took matters into their own hands, developing oils made from fresh, local ingredients.

What started as a simple solution to a common problem grew into a well-considered line of herb and vegetable oils. “We realised that a product we’d been making ourselves for years wasn’t available anywhere in the quality we wanted,” the founders explain.

Their goal was clear from the start: to create fresh oils that offer the same quality and purity as the handmade versions chefs create in their own kitchens. No preservatives, no colourings, no artificial flavour enhancers. Just pure ingredients. Locally sourced, and offered at an accessible price.

A commitment to quality and authenticity

This philosophy naturally came with its own set of challenges. “It takes a lot of knowledge and technique to keep a green oil both fresh in taste and bright in colour, without using preservatives,” they explain. After more than a year of intensive testing and development, Grønn finally felt ready to launch. And with great success: the positive feedback from culinary professionals speaks volumes. Chefs immediately recognise the product’s quality and authenticity and are eager to incorporate Grønn into their creations.

The path forward is promising, as Grønn continues to grow and innovate. Grønn continues to expand its range of flavours, always rooted in the same core values: freshness, transparency, and fairness in pricing. The team dreams out loud about international growth, inspiring recipes, and the development of new ready-to-use products built on the same principles.

Technology in service of taste

Delivering high-quality oils without additives may sound simple, but in practice, it proved to be a complex process. “It was a serious challenge to keep a green oil vibrant and flavourful for more than a week,” they share. After months of rigorous experimentation and technical refinement, Grønn found the right formula, achieving stability and shelf life without ever compromising on purity.

The result is a line of herb and vegetable oils that offers both convenience and top-tier culinary performance. And the response from chefs is loud and clear: “Their enthusiasm motivates us daily to keep pushing boundaries and innovating.”

A mission of honest quality

For Grønn, this is just the beginning. Their ambitions reach far beyond the current flavour range. “We’re full of ideas and will gradually introduce new flavours in the coming months,” the team says. Every new variant remains loyal to their founding values: quality, freshness, transparency, and an honest price.

Grønn’s mission has since grown. Not only do they aim to make their products available to chefs around the world, they also want to inspire through recipes and eventually expand into other ready-to-use products, all while maintaining the same uncompromising standards. Their goal is clear: to deliver honest, high-quality solutions that genuinely support chefs in their kitchens.

Recognition from Culinary Innovators

Winning the Product Award ‘Food’ at Culinary Innovators 2025 confirms that Grønn is on the right track. “This recognition from one of the industry’s most respected quality labels means the world to us. It strengthens our mission to make sustainable innovation accessible to every chef.”

In a market where ready-to-use products are often subpar and packed with additives, Grønn proves that it can be done differently.
