Aman Venice Appoints Norbert Niederkofler as Consultant Chef

The Aman Venice has appointed the three Michelin-starred chef, Norbert Niederkofler, as Consultant Chef.

In his role, which he will preside over alongside his duties as Executive Chef of St. Hubertus at Rosa Alpina Hotel and Spa, Chef Norbert will collaborate with Executive Chef of Aman Venice, Dario Ossola, to provide culinary creativity and flair to the hotel’s menus including those of the signature restaurant Arva, from 10 December 2019.

Renowned for his culinary philosophy ‘Cook the Mountain’, which sees him cooking only with locally grown produce, drawing inspiration from his mountain surrounds and giving value to the ingredients in all their parts, Chef Norbert will interpret his philosophy to the shores of Venice to curate a series of dishes and menus themed ‘Cook the Lagoon’.

Chef Norbert will work with Chef Dario to consult with local farmers, fishermen and market traders to source the freshest seasonal produce from the Rialto Market, Venetian lagoon and the city’s islands.

Originally from South Tyrol, Chef Norbert’s commitment to only using local ingredients meant extensive research into the area, striking up close relationships with the region’s farmers and producers, and a need to be creative and innovative with ingredients, an approach which quickly gained notoriety and which led him and St Hubertus to win their third Michelin star in 2017.
