The second edition of Gelato World Tour (GWT) will start in Singapore on March 20, making it Asia’s first Gelato Capital of the World. For three consecutive days, the event at the Marina Bay Sands will flag off the “Formula One of Gelato” and also celebrate fifty years of the Singapore Republic.
Gelato World Tour, the first international traveling competition in search of the best flavors in the world, is directed by the Carpigiani Gelato University and Sigep and is a worldwide exhibition for the artisan production of gelato, pastry, confectionery and bakery products, held in Rimini Italy. Its mission is to spread the culture of Italian-style gelato, a fresh, artisan food product throughout the world.
Visitors to the event will be able to vote for their favorite flavor created on the spot by the 16 finalists, coming from India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia and Singapore.
The three day event will feature free gelato courses offered by Italian gelato chefs, as well as an educational program on how to open a gelato shop.
“The votes of the visitors and GWT’s Technical Jury will determine the top three flavors to represent the Asia Pacific region at the Grand Finale of the Gelato World Tour 2.0 to be held in Rimini, Italy in 2017,” the organizers said.
