Savoie pulled off a delicious and spectacular feat this weekend. On Saturday, November 15, Albertville hosted a 2.4-ton tartiflette, officially becoming the largest ever made. The setting? The Tartifest, an event as generous on the plate as it is in ambition. Organized by the Young Farmers of Savoie, the event had one motto: bringing crowds together around a mythical dish, just a stone's throw from Lyon.
Creating this melting giant required almost military logistics. Six giant pans measuring two meters in diameter, 1.5 tons of peeled potatoes, 360 kilos of perfectly sliced reblochon, 300 kilos of golden lardons, and just as many sautéed onions... All orchestrated like a Savoyard ballet where every move counts. A true culinary marathon, seasoned with smiles (and probably a few whiffs of cheese in the air).

In the end, this legendary dish pleased a huge crowd. Nearly 3,000 people had the chance to taste this new Savoyard legend, enjoying a moment where the warmth of the dish rivaled the warmth of the audience. Between the crispy texture, the creamy melt, and the electrifying atmosphere, Albertville proved that tartiflette remains the undisputed queen of winter gatherings.

Behind the performance lies an essential cause: supporting local farmers. No less than 60% of the profits will be donated to the farmers of Savoie and Haute-Savoie affected by contagious nodular dermatitis. It's a powerful reminder that gastronomy can also be a means of helping and mobilizing.
