The course was organized by Nova Pan, a leader in equipment, solutions and consumables for professional bakeries, pastry shops and confectioneries in Romania, in strategic partnership with PreGel Italy, one of the world leaders in the production of premium ingredients for artisanal gelato and was supported by the master gelato maker Alessandro Romeo, an internationally recognized expert, owner of several gelaterias in Verona and a long-time collaborator of PreGel since 2015. Under his guidance, participants benefited from top know-how, combined with the professional equipment provided by Baking Show and the high-quality ingredients provided by PreGel.
The program included practical demonstrations and active participation in the preparation of the 12 distinct flavors, a balanced selection that combined Italian tradition with contemporary innovations and options adapted to current trends (including zero sugar variants): Fior di Latte, Pistachio Verde Primavera, Golden Vanilla, Popcorn, Strawberries, Bananas, Piedmont Hazelnuts, Forest Fruit Sorbetto, Zero Sugar Passion Fruit, Zero Cioconero, Fruit Yogurt, Salted Caramel.
Each flavor was created step by step, from precise ingredient dosing, recipe balance calculation (solids, sugars, fats), base maturation, to the freezing, extraction and optimal serving process.
