Le Cordon Bleu

1578 - Le Cordon Bleu was named after the blue ribbon worn by “L'Ordre des Chevaliers du Saint Esprit”, a special order of knights formed by King Henry III. Due to the decadent feasts held by this Order in celebration of their victories, the name Le Cordon Bleu soon was recognized as a high standard for food quality, and has become a symbol of culinary excellence since the 16th century.
