A fair of superlatives GELATISSIMO Messe Stuttgart is once again presenting Gelatissimo, the largest trade fair for gelato north of the Alps, in Stuttgart (Germany) from 5 to 9 February 2022. Gelatieri, owners of gelato shops and cafés, as well as restaurateurs, will find all the ingredients they need for their professional success when they visit the gelato trade fair early next year. The exhibition promises to put on quite the show for trade visitors. The cream of the crop will be taking part in the Grand Prix Gelatissimo. The best gelatieri in the business will battle it out on the first three days of the competition to see who can win over the jury with the best pistachio-, yoghurt- and strawberry-flavoured gelato. The winner of each day will take home one of three Vespa scooters and qualify to take part in the big final on the fourth day of the trade fair. During this competition, the three finalists will have to use their skills to create the best coconut-flavoured gelato. And the person who impresses the expert jury most when it comes to taste, optics and consistency will take home the coveted “Coppa Gelatissimo” trophy. During the additional “Intercoppa” competition, the fifteen best participants of the Grand Prix Gelatissimo 2022 will compete once again, this time against the respective fifteen best gelatieri from the years 2016, 2018 and 2020, to create the perfect Variegato-Amarena gelato. The winner of this competition will then be driving home in a brand-new Fiat 500! In order to ensure that all participants in Gelatissimo can enjoy a safe but inspiring trade fair in Stuttgart, the aisles between the exhibition stands will be extended, for example, to a width of five metres. Additional discussion and tasting zones are also planned in order to provide more room for networking on the trade fair grounds. Full contact tracing will also be ensured by means of compulsory online registration. Trade visitors will therefore be able to experience, as usual, innovative solutions on the spot, exchange experiences with colleagues, forge new contacts or cultivate existing contacts. 5 - 9 February 2022 - WWW.GELATISSIMO-EXPO.COM 92
