Sixteen Gelato Artisans Vie for The North
American Title, May 27-29, 2016
The Gelato World Tour, the world’s premiere cross-cultural
artisanal gelato competition, has announced they will bring the
second competition to Millennium Park in Chicago May 27-29, 2016.
With free admission to the public, the tour’s first stop in Chicago
will present sixteen renowned gelato artisans from North America as
they compete to create the world’s best gelato flavor. Visitors and
industry professionals are invited to enjoy lessons, hands-on
workshops and delicious instruction on the ancient art of making
gelato.
The winning formula of Gelato World Tour incorporates passion,
artisanship and culture. The gelato artisans themselves will tell
their stories and present their flavors to the public, jury of
experts and journalists, whose votes will decide the final
standings and the three finalists who will participate at the Grand
Finale in Rimini, Italy, in 2017. Numerous activities based on
artisanal gelato culture will accompany the challenge.
Registration for the “Americas East” stage in Chicago will close
on March 31, 2016. The rules and registration form are
available at www.gelatoworldtour.com. The Gelato World Tour will
also host a competition on the West Coast in September.
Because artisan gelato is made fresh daily with the highest
quality ingredients, has less air than traditional ice cream and is
served at a higher temperature, the flavors invigorate the palette
while containing fewer calories and fat. This makes gelato the
right choice for health-conscious foodies who appreciate the finest
flavors and textures.
Gelato World Tour has already traveled to nine cities: Rome,
Valencia, Melbourne, Dubai, Austin, Berlin, Rimini, Singapore and
Tokyo. The prestigious Carpigiani Gelato University and Sigep –
Rimini Fiera, the most important trade show for traditional gelato
and pastry, have organized the event. Main partners are IFI,
leading manufacturer of gelato display cases, and PreGel,
the world’s largest producer of ingredients for gelato and pastry.
Prodea Group is the event’s operating partner.
