Eight cities in the five continents become gelato capitals: that good, genuine, nutritious food, presented in hundreds of flavors. These cities welcome thousands of people to their public squares and will contribute to highlighting artisans and local products. Sixteen gelato artisans are selected for each stop and they compete with flavors that combine tradition with innovation, bringing out the taste of the best ingredients. An incredible opportunity to make themselves known and to show their own recipes to the audience and the media.
Visitors of the Gelato World Tour Village can participate to short lessons about the art of making gelato taught by instructors of Carpigiani Gelato University, can see gelato produced right in front of their eyes, and can taste fresh gelato by purchasing the Gelato Pass. The Gelato Museum present fun and educational workshops for children and provide the chance to discover the history of gelato, from 12,000 BC up to today. Partners and sponsors (Italian companies involved with artisan gelato) enrich the event with their products and culture.
Each gelato artisan present his/her own single best flavor. The final standings are calculated according to the votes of the public and of a technical jury. In this way, specialists and visitors can judge together the proposals, deciding the winner for each stop. The top three will compete at the Grand Finale of the Gelato World Tour in September 2014 in Rimini, for the title of World’s Best Gelato.
