Sweetmood No28 - November 2021

Fueled up for business SIGEP Sigep, organized by IEG - Italian Exhibition Group, will be back live in 2022 filling the entire trade show area. At Rimini Expo Centre (Italy), from 22nd to 26th January, the 43rd International Artisan Gelato, Pastry, Bakery and Coffee Trade Show will place the dolce and horeca worlds at the centre of business under the common thread of sustainability. In the Vision Plaza will be scheduled non-stop talks on supply chain trends, consumers, technologies and market strategies in the various countries of the world; and the four Arenas dedicated to Gelato, Pastry, Bakery and Coffee will host a continuous alternation of events, competitions and demonstrations with the world’s great masters of artisan confectionery. As far as events are concerned, Gelato d’Oro is back to select the gelato and pastry chefs who will be part of the Italian team competing for one of the 12 places available at the 10th Gelato World Cup, which will return to Rimini in 2024. The latest entry in the sweetest international competition ever is the European championship, to be held for the first time in 2023, which will be an outright “elimination round” for the teams, each composed of a master gelato maker and a master pastry chef and chocolatier. Automatic participation “by right” has therefore come to an end and a new phase of the competition has begun involving the selection of the Italian team, in collaboration with Gelato World Cup Club Italia, for the “knockout rounds” of the Gelato European Cup and, eventually, participation in the World Championship. Pastry chef selection in the Gelato Arena is scheduled for 23rd January 2022 with two trials: an artistic creation in brittle and a chocolate gelato cake. The Gelato d’Oro gelato maker selection will be divided into a semi-final, on 24th and 25th January, with two trials - the “mystery cream” and the “mystery fruit” - and a final on 26th January, with the creation of a single-portion in glass and a gastronomic gelato. 22 - 26 January 2022 - HTTPS://EN.SIGEP.IT 90
