Also returning is the Italian Senior Pastry Championship,
with the winner going on to participate in the Coupe du
Monde de la Pâtisserie in Lyon, including spectacular
works made with ice, sugar, and chocolate.
The entire coffee chain meets at Sigep, which will host
the finals of all seven Italian Championships qualifying
for the World Coffee Event circuit: Italian Barista Cham-
pionship (4 espressos, 4 drinks made with coffee and
hot milk, and 4 espresso-based drinks without alcohol),
Latte Art (4 artistic drinks made with coffee and milk),
Brewers Cup (preparation method common in Nordic
countries, the USA, and in Asia), Coffee in Good Spirits
(2 Irish coffees and 2 cocktails made with hot coffee and
spirits), Ibrik (pan specifically designed to prepare a par-
ticular type of coffee), Coffee Roasting (roasting race),
and Cup Tasting (distinguishing the differences in taste
and aroma of different types of coffee). The program
also includes Barista & Farmer, the first international tal-
ent show entirely devoted to coffee. Sigep 2018 will of-
ficially unveil the complete program of the next edition
of the competition, which will centre on the theme of
sustainability starting from the countries of origin.
The exhibition will increase its attention to artisanal
pastry and confectionery, with two pavilions that will
host all the sweet lines combined with bread, with an
even greater focus on ingredients, products, and
semi-finished products.
Again this year Sigep Giovani will focus on bread art,
not to mention numerous new developments and
competitions in various disciplines and the possibility
of internships with companies.
