The glasses, cups and coffee will be supplied by Hausbrandt. This test is valid for the Pastry Queen championship and promoted in collaboration with SCAE – Speciality Coffee Association of Europe.
The first three classified will receive prizes for a total of 1,000 euros. The jury will be formed by high-profile master pastry chefs (Iginio Massari and Sonia Balacchi), as well as exponents of the Italian and foreign trade press.
The SIGEP program also features the ´Affogato al Caffè´ Award, which strengthens the relationship between artisan gelato and espresso coffee, already able to result in participation by leading companies and events of worldwide importance.
The affogato al caffè (known outside Italy simply as Affogato), a classic of Italy´s gelato tradition, is a cup of gelato combined with an espresso. On Sunday 19th January, the stand of Comprital, platinum sponsor of the Gelato World Cup, will host a contest between ten barmen.
They will have at their disposal six cream-based gelato flavours, made by the contestants of the World Gelato Cup, and will use Portioli Torrefazione coffee. The result will be a fascinating combination: the creams made by the teams of the countries taking part in the Gelato World Cup with the chosen coffee.
This Award is promoted in collaboration with SCAE – Speciality Coffee Association of Europe. A specialist panel of judges, the members of which will include the current champion gelato artisan Leonardo Ceschin, will elect the best Affogato. The first three classified will receive prizes for a total of 1,000 euros.
Not to mention another highly qualifying aspect, i.e. the related culture. The Educational Area foresees a training program to promote the culture of coffee thanks to meetings with internationally famous teachers.
