After having conquered the palates of thousands of people in Rome, Valencia, Dubai, Melbourne, and Austin, the Gelato World Tour Village is ready to welcome lovers of artisanal gelato to Alexanderplatz, Berlin, on 22-24 August 2014.
Berlin will be the final stop of the Gelato World Tour before the Grand Finale which will be held 5-7 September in Piazzale Fellini in Rimini. Participants in the competition will include the finalists from all the previous stops. In fact, 24 artisans from five continents will compete with their best flavor, and at the end of the event the World’s Best Gelato will be declared.
The competition is organized by two “top players” in the gelato world: the Carpigiani Gelato University, with its 13 campuses on five continents, and Sigep – Rimini Fiera, the most important artisanal confectionery trade show, along with the support of Italian display case manufacturer IFI, the only company in the world to use artisanal gelato to win the top design award – the Compasso d’Oro – thanks to the GWT Bellevue dipping case, and MEC3, top producer of ingredients for artisanal gelato and pastry, not to mention UNITEIS, the association of German gelato artisans.
The mission of Gelato World Tour, an event supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – General Directorate for the Promotion of National Systems, Ministry of Economic Development, Road to Expo 2015, and Emilia Romagna Region, is to spread the culture of Italian gelato, a fresh, unique artisanal food, to the public at large worldwide. So far, “Mission Accomplished” with great success. So much so, that a second edition is already being organized.
