Pascal Vandenheulen – Master of Flavor & Commercial Expertise
A graduate of Hotelschool Gent (1986) and driven by a boundless passion for high-quality products, Pascal (°1966) has built an impressive career.
With over 25 years in hospitality – including 12 years as chef-owner of the renowned “De Pastorie” in Belgium – he earned accolades from Guide Michelin, Gault&Millau, NorthSeaChefs and was inducted in 2017 into the 33 Masterchefs of Belgium.
But Pascal is more than a chef.
He is a natural networker and a commercial talent. With 10 additional years as managing director in international distribution, he fully understands what producers, hospitality professionals and consumers seek: quality products that inspire – both on the plate and in the story behind them.
Today, he works as a Chef Consultant and commercial partner for chefs and restaurants. Since 2025, together with Caroline, he has been developing an exclusive import company for premium gastronomic products – starting with non-alcoholic aperitifs and ready for more.

His Mission
Connecting producers and hospitality.
With a focus on quality, passion for the craft, and a personal approach that opens doors.
