Grand Prix GELATISSIMO
The popular gelato competition
Exceptionally the Grand Prix GELATISSIMO took place at südback 2022. The best gelatieri competed against one another. Their task: to produce the best gelato in the pistachio, yoghurt and strawberry flavours on the first three days of the competition. An expert jury selected the respective winner of the day. Their prize was a brand-new Vespa and they qualified for the grand finale.
Finale
In the grand finale on the third trade fair day, after the strawberry competition, the winner of the Grand Prix GELATISSIMO was determined: the three winners from the previous days had to prove their skill live when they produced a coconut sorbet. The expert jury selected then the overall winner and handed over the coveted trophy, the "Coppa GELATISSIMO”. On the last trade fair day the competitions were crowned by the additional competition “Intercoppa” where the 15 best gelatieri of the years 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022 competed against each other in the category "Variegato-Amarena” gelato.
The best participant of Intercoppa won a Fiat 500!
