The Baselbieter Genusswochen are all about the enjoyment of food and eating and are designed to showcase the richness of the flavors and the variety of a pleasurable diet—a diet where the products, the person who manufactures or processes them, and the area from which they come all have meaning. The event, which this year will span 11 days in many locations around Baselland, has become very popular and well-attended. Its main goals include bringing awareness to the diversity of food and nutritional cultures, increasing consumer awareness of the quality and seasonality of the products, sensitizing young generations to the simple enjoyment of food and eating together, showing the importance of a diverse and balanced diet for health, preserving culinary traditions, promoting culinary innovations, giving recognition to the craftsmanship and know-how, and enabling visitors to discover quality products.
Every year, a “specialty of the year” is selected and featured at the Genusswochen. For the 2025 edition, honey and salt take center stage. The Baselland region is a home of honey production, and the local honey is of exceptional quality. The topography provides many steep slopes that remain unmown. As a result, a jar of Baselland honey can easily be made from pollen of 140 different plant species, making its ingredients particularly diverse. The lush orchards, forests, and forest edges are especially valuable for bees. Experience and enjoy this liquid gold at exciting tours and tasting-events; find these at https://www.baselland-tourismus.ch/entdecken-erleben/honig-events.
Salt is the essence of flavor, and Switzerland's salt comes from this region. From the Swiss saltworks comes the country's most essential food, and probably also its most complex. Discover the white gold at various events; for more information, see https://www.baselland-tourismus.ch/entdecken-erleben/salz-events.
During this year’s Baselbieter Genusswochen, select restaurants will be presenting menus where guests will have many opportunities to enjoy gourmet meals with honey and salt (https://www.baselland-tourismus.ch/entdecken-erleben/spezialitaet-des-jahres-2025-honig-salz).
