Organized by Gelato e Cul-
tura and Sigep of the IEG
Italian Exhibition Group, the
Gelato World Cup is for mas-
ters of gelato, pastry, choco-
late, ice sculptors and haute
cuisine selected from the
best professionals on the five
continents. It’s a challenge
that is held every two years,
offering a unique opportunity
for competing and stimulat-
ing individual development.
Sigep is the largest and most comprehensive
B2B trade fair in the world dedicated to gelato
and artisanal sweets, maintaining and strength-
ening its undisputed leadership since 1980.
Italy was awarded the top position on the
podium in the 7th edition of the Gelato World
Cup held in 2016, winning its fourth title after
2006, 2008, and 2012, followed by Spain and
Australia, which in 2018 will both return with
the same teams looking to win the world title,
currently putting in long hours of practice.
Also participating are Argentina, Colombia,
France, Japan, Morocco, Mexico, Poland, Switzer-
land, United States and the new entry Ukraine.
EVERYTHING’S READY
FOR THE WORLD CUP
20-23 JANUARY 2018 -
Italy will be missing, the undisputed heavyweight
of recent editions which, according to the rules,
will skip a turn as it is the current title holder.
The 12 teams will consist in a gelato artisan,
a chef, an ice sculptor, and a pastry chef led
by a Team Manager, for a total of 60 contest-
ants and 14 international judges. The teams
will compete in seven rounds: decorated tray
of gelato, gelato cake, decorated cup, haute
cuisine entrée with savoury gelato, mystery
box, artistic centerpieces made of ice and brit-
tle, gelato snacks. The competition will con-
clude with the final Grand Buffet and the
official presentation of all the works produced.
