Oriol Rovira

Michelin-starred chef Oriol Rovira, owner of Els Casals, is emblematic of a generation of chefs who draw inspiration from seasonal produce and the traditions of their ancestors. Els Casals is more than just a restaurant - it’s a way of life. Nestled within a family estate held by the Rovira family for over 600 years, it offers a cuisine deeply connected to the land.

Most of the products are sourced from their own farm or nearby producers, incorporating vegetables and fruits, eggs, milk and dairy products, poultry, pork, mushrooms, truffles, and more. The cuisine is heavily reliant on the seasonality of products, which are always treated with the utmost respect, so they can be appreciated and preserved in the best conditions. This makes him a valuable addition to the Biorest Cup jury, where Oriol will use his wealth of knowledge and experience to judge the competitors’ skills.
