“Ours is an international event, which aims to compare world excellence in the preparation of panettone - says Giuseppe Piffaretti, patron of the Panettone World Cup - But we are aware of the Italian vocation for this product, which was born in Italy and is here that, in fact, there is a greater number of pastry chefs who are expertly dedicated to its preparation. For this reason we have decided to organize pre-selections only for Italy, in order to allow a greater number of pastry chefs to take part in the competition, however allowing the jurors to adequately taste the panettone, guaranteeing a careful evaluation that makes the right value of both the work of the pastry chefs and that of the jury. Seriousness and respect for this profession was the hallmark of our event and it is the reason why so many appreciated our event: we wish to continue in this direction".
