Nils Flatmark, Executive Head Chef at Storfjord

Nils Flatmark is the reigning Norwegian champion in culinary arts, distinguished as the only Nordic chef with three gold medals in the Nordic Championships, including one 'winner overall' title. He is also the first to win the Nordic Green Chef of The Year Award.

 Nils is an active Norwegian national culinary team member, contributing to its successes with an overall gold at the 2020 Olympics and two category golds in 2024.

Nils' culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in seasonal ingredients, with a preference for Norwegian, locally produced, and organic produce.

For Nils, it is crucial to highlight Norwegian produce and producers through his culinary creations, as he considers the chef the foremost ambassador for local agriculture.
