Gaia Iluka · Culinary Partners

Bring Gaia Iluka to your table.

For restaurants, chefs, bakeries, hotels and food businesses who care about what they cook with, finish with and serve.

  • In the kitchen

    Cook with it. Finish with it. Serve it.

  • At the table

    A bottle a guest can taste, and then take home.

  • The relationship

    Chosen, not signed up. We work directly, with no one in between.

  • Every November

    One evening a year at Restaurant Iluka, around the new harvest.

The partnership

More than wholesale.

As a Culinary Partner, you cook with the oil, you finish plates with it, and a guest who liked it can take a bottle home from your own room.

Culinary Partners are selected restaurants and culinary businesses that share our approach to quality, provenance and food culture. We work with each one directly. There is no one in between.

Restaurant Iluka · Jeonju

Founding Culinary Partner in Korea.

The first kitchen in Korea to work with Gaia Iluka, and where the culinary partnership began. The oil is used in the kitchen and on the table, every service.

See where Gaia Iluka is served

Restaurant Iluka is an independent restaurant in Jeonju and a Gaia Iluka Culinary Partner. The two are separate businesses.

The November harvest gathering

Once a year, around the new harvest.

Every November, at Restaurant Iluka: a tasting of the new season, the story of the origin, the producer and the harvest, a culinary tasting prepared in the kitchen, and the company of the other partners.

Every Culinary Partner is invited.

Founding Partners

The first twenty become Founding Culinary Partners.

The circle is being built slowly, one kitchen at a time. The first twenty partners are chosen by us, by hand, and are recognised as Founding Culinary Partners of the Gaia Iluka culinary network in Korea.

We read every application ourselves and reply personally. Sending one does not open a partner account; the programme is selective.
