At piazzale Michelangelo the 16 best of the tour since 2011, in a weekend of tastings and workshops. The winner accesses the final of the #gelato #festival World Masters 2021

Florence, 30 August 2018

The best #gelato makers in the world in Florence for an unprecedented challenge: the countdown has begun for the "ALL STARS" of #gelato #festival 2018, the most important event of the year in the field of artisanal #gelato organized in collaboration with Carpigiani and Sigep - Italian Exhibition Group. After an eight-step tour with over a hundred master #gelato cream makers who challenged bringing their craft creations to taste, now the 16 champions who have already triumphed in the various editions of the #gelato #festival from 2011 onwards will compete to gain access to the final of the #gelato #festival World Masters 2021.

The appointment is in Florence FROM FRIDAY 14 TO SUNDAY 16 SEPTEMBER (h. 12-20), in the splendid scenery offered by Piazzale Michelangelo: for Florentines and tourists a unique opportunity to forget about the wallet and discover the secrets of the world of #gelato among tastings, thematic initiatives and educational workshops set up in the three large 13-meter #food trucks (including the "Buontalenti" which is the largest mobile #gelato production laboratory in the world) in one of the most beautiful and photographed places in the world, with a breathtaking view of the city. A 10 euro ticket (reduced for children under the meter), also available on pre-sale on the event website (www.gelatofestival.it/biglietto), will allow to taste all the #gelato in the competition, plus those of the sponsors (including Cookies The Original® and the Black version) and participation in village activities.

A real challenge among the stars of Italian artisan #gelato, therefore, with the presence of the #gelato #festival winners from the 2011 edition to today. Artisans whose names are well known to those who know the world of artisan #gelato excellence, each of which has been able to impose thanks to a mix between the high quality of raw materials, an excellent mastery of technique and great imagination in process the most appropriate combinations. In the days of the #festival - and this is another absolute news - the #gelato makers themselves will then be asked to try a special stage: thanks to the partnership with Angelo Poretti Brewery, the chefs will have to create a new flavor flavored with beer, evaluated by a technical jury.
