INTERVIEW

Carlo Pozza, owner of the Davenicio pastry shop, even if remaining faithful to tradition, is riding the change and is entering the virtual world, satisfying new trends

REINVENTING ONESELF FOR A CHANGING WORLD Milena Novarino

“It is useful and pleasant to relate to people, so every morning, around six o’clock, I say Good morning to all the sweet-toothed world of Facebook and Twitter, a positive way to start the day”. Who is speaking is Carlo Pozza, successful confectioner from Arzignano, nearVicenza, Italy. It was logical and natural for him to choose this path, in fact he represents the fifth generation of his family, and, together with other colleagues, he is the founder member of Ampi, Accademia Maestri Pasticcieri Italiani (Italian Master Confectioners Academy). “Davenicio” confectioner’s, from its light, elegant and modern tones, continues to be a benchmark for quality and customer satisfaction. The offer on show is the result of a search for taste and a lot of passion, because it is the desire to make people dream that brings Carlo to experiment new channels of offer, following trends.

Carlo, how does your day start?

The shop opens at seven o’clock and we start with the breakfasts, we have a hot counter with a wide assortment of croissant, doughnuts, tarts... Everything that we produce is left to rise overnight, in this way our produce is always fresh. Our early morning customers are regulars, I know them all, I know what they want and so they don’t even need to order and in this way we exchange news, secrets and jokes.

What is your typical customer like?

Those who enter the shop, in this rather difficult period, do not come for themselves but to

Carlo Pozza with his children Sofia and Alberto, his wife Alessia and parents Mariella and Venicio.

buy confectionery to give as presents, therefore we also concentrate on elegant and sober packaging. The tray for the fresh pastries is lilac with a silver inside and it is not only perfect for transporting but also for presentation.

How do you distinguish your business?

Around three years ago, I created the trademark and logo. I have always heard, right from being a child, the sentence “let’s go to Venicio” so, as a tribute to my father, I decided to dedicate the sign to him. As a logo I chose a round symbol which represents an Egyptian votive cake. All the packaging, paper and boxes are personalised.

What are your specialities?

Among the leavened cakes there is Alby (short for Alberto), a very particular panettone with candied apricot and chocolate drops, which we produce all year round in

750 g packaging. A cake which has been very successful, even winning awards, and there is the Gatò al pistacchio. And there is also the Gata.

What is the Gata?

Gata (the she-cat, local dialect) is a typical sweet, an expression of the Berici Hills territory and its products of excellence, white flour and Marano yellow corn flour, grappa vicentina, butter, milk and honey, with a pinch of almond and cocoa. It does not contain preservatives, but remains soft and fragrant for 40 days, thanks to the addition of grappa. Its name was chosen because the inhabitants of Vicenza have always been called by the name of magnagati, some say because during a plague they were forced to eat cats. Others because an invasion of mice forced them to let an army of cats loose in the streets of the city. Along with some confectioners who are friends from the Associazione Artigiani Vicentini (Vicentini Artisans Association) we have set up the Consorzio dei Pasticcieri “La Gata” (Association of confectioners “La Gata”), of which I am president. Among our aims are the production, promotion, marketing and

safeguard of the recipe and packaging of the cake.

How do you see the future of the sector?

Today we are living in a period in which there are no longer any constants and people spend less, so there is the necessity to always reinvent yourself, without certainties regarding purchases. In order to sell, we try to propose always something new. There is no need to revolutionize but rather to propose following trends.

What are your innovative proposals?

Together with some friends I have patented and registered the trademark Pasticcerio, a blog dedicated to the sweet-toothed, a virtual place where you can meet not only to learn about products and innovations, but also to experience the world of confectionery art. On the radio programme “Il gastronauta” with the journalist Davide Paolini, I explained how to make cupcakes. It was a great success, so I then held some amateur courses and to help those who wanted to make them at home to impress relatives and friends, I created the cupcake kit which contains the recipe and powder mix, to which only the fresh ingredients need to be added, and all

INTERVIEW

the necessary tools, such as paper sweet cases and underplates. Each one contains an ironic saying to amaze one’s friends.

So you are following the “do-it-yourself” trend?

Yes, there are always more people that want to produce and in this way I get the loyalty of the customers. I have created many different product lines, from chocolate to fruit sauces, from homemade cream decorations prepared with fresh ingredients, up to the tools of the trade, used by the biggest artisan workshops and impossible to find in the supermarket. With the kit, there is everything at hand to bake at home, with the same practicality of the industrial mixes, but with the quality of a homemade product.

What is “Pasticcerio” for you?

A blog to remain in contact with those who love confectionery, get recipes, information about ingredients, about the working methods for various products of Italian tradition, but also advice and “tricks” of the trade http://pasticcerio.wordpress.com/

A new way of finding followers, but what do you think of tradition?

The past must not be abandoned: tradition is inside us, if a product is well made, people identify themselves with it.

What are the most important aspects in preparing a cake?

First of all, pay attention to taste and then to presentation. Colour gives vivacity to the counter and the eye is attracted to it.

Ampi’s meeting and the Italian Pastry Chef of the Year A wide audience attended the public meeting of Accademia Maestri Pasticceri Italiani in Brescia last November, gathering some of the best artisans in Italy. The members of the association worked on some technical themes, such as the making of mini chocolate cakes, decorated panettone and savoury products, and then welcomed their hosts in Villa Fenaroli Palace with a wonderful display of confectionery items inspired to Christmas celebration, such as sweet trees, polar bears, reindeers, Santa Claus, chocolate desserts, biscuits, festive cakes and panettone...

During the meeting, a conference about the future of Italian confectionery took place and some of the members were awarded gold medals for the excellence of their products. Also Irinox, the Italian company specialized in chilling technologies received a special prize. Moreover, vice president Paolo Sacchetti from Prato was elected the Italian Pastry Chef of the Year by his Ampi colleagues, receiving the golden medal - Trofeo Pavoni prize for his constant professional commitment and high skills. www.ampiweb.it

DECORATION

Venice Cake The authors of the book “Sweet Airbrush”, Gian Paolo Panizzolo and Mario Romani, are back to give readers inspiration on how to make a two tier cake, where the conception is strictly combined with airbrushing and the development of the cake is a union between modelling and airbrush painting. The cake is dedicated to the city of Venice, famous in every latitude for its works of art and destination for tourists and lovers from all over the world. For this reason it has been conceived as two heart-shaped layers, a larger one and a smaller one placed on top.

GELATO

ALCOHOLIC GELATO Some recipes and comments by two renowned Italian experts including wine as the defining ingredient

12

2013 ‐ www.piwwe.com ‐ n. 22

Talking with ALESSANDRO RACCA What do you intend by alcoholic gelato?

A cold and creamy milk- and/or fruit-based preparation flavoured with spirits, hydroalcoholic infusions and beer, obtained after a freezing process, to be served between -8 and -18°C. Which solutions are necessary when using wine in granita recipes?

The main difficulties are aboveall linked to the presence of the alcohol, which sensibly increases the resistance of the mixture to cold. Therefore, drastically changing the freezing point, the palate perceives a marked sensation of cold and Raspberry granita by Alessandro Racca.

the typical perfumes of liqueurs and/or wine are lost. The most important method is that of using sugars with a low DE and fiber which, in fact, capture free alcohol and enables the mixture to freeze and increase in volume.

Why did you choose Moscato d’Asti and Prosecco for your recipes?

These two wines were chosen because of their different sensory properties and as such are representative of “Made in Italy” in the world. On one side, Moscato d’Asti, with its sugars and perfumes, and on the other, Prosecco, with its bitter aftertaste which is “rounded off” by the mixing of the sugars.

In general, how can alcoholic gelato be promoted to the customers?

Through a correct information on its contents, paired with a bowl, a plate or a drink. In my experience, I have noted that the consumption of alcohol linked to sweets, in general, is in decline, but there is a specific slice of the market which has a preference for modern tastes, among which also those with alcohol.

GELATO

Talking with ANTONIO MEZZALIRA What type of alcoholic gelato do you offer in your gelato parlour “Golosi di Natura”?

From Col Vetoraz Prosecco sorbet to al gelato cream made with Passito di Pantelleria or with Breganze Torcolato; from the flavour of Malaga, produced with andalusian Malaga wine, to grappa sorbet made with Sarpa Poli Grappa and so on.

Which alcoholic ingredients do you usually use? Do they create any difficulty in working the gelato?

I use high quality wines and liqueurs, which are not easy to find such as Malaga wine or 23-year-old Zacapa rum, and I try to satisfy the expectations of the most discerning customer. Their use requires extremely precise techniques, then a gelato machine is needed which allows the alcohol to be “harnessed” in the gelato to avoid the de-

structuration. With a less powerful gelato machine there would be the risk of an even more liquid gelato being produced. The difference is in the quantity of product being inserted inside. The right balance makes it very tasty.

How do you insert the alcoholic part in the gelato making processes?

The alcohol must be added after having reached a temperature of 5°C and drizzled in through the cover of the hopper in the freezing cylinder, in the same way as for oil when making mayonnaise, because otherwise the structure would not resist and the product would melt.

The freezing process tends to be longer than usual, because there is more antifreeze to be balanced. This also depends on the amount of alcohol inserted.

Do you also offer alcoholic gelato, meaning wine or liqueur as an accompaniment to a non-alcoholic gelato?

The presence of alcohol as an accompaniment can sometimes satisfy the most discerning palates. For example, a strawberry sorbet can be sprinkled with a small amount of Prosecco and be pleasantly surprising. Or a Maracaibo chocolate gelato “embraced” by a few drops of 23-year-old Zacapa rum can be liked by many.

Chocolate and hazelnut The latest new product Nutty by Fabbri 1905 has all the flavor of one of the most popular combinations – chocolate and hazelnut. The soft, rich and mouth-watering product for artisan confectionery and gelato stands out due to its versatility and it is perfect as a filling for all kinds of sweet specialties. It can be used for preparing and decorating semifreddo, or as a filling for pralines or truffles.

It is an eclectic culinary product not only for cold but also baked desserts. Its flavor and texture do not change during cooking and it is fit for combination with short crust pastry to make mouth-watering tarts. It can be spread inside a gelato cone, offering an explosion of taste, and is also good on its own, just pouring it into a tub and freezing it, as a creamy dessert ready to be served. It can be used in many ways in gelato making, i.e. as marbling for lot a of flavors or directly in the gelato machine, and the resulting product will keep well in a display case.

Another idea is Bread and Nutty: 2 kilos of Nutty, 2 liters of milk and 250 grams of whole wheat bread (preferably toasted). Blend together and pour into the gelato machine, in order to obtain a classic and appreciable flavour. www.fabbri1905.com

CUISINE

Pastry chef for the Osteria Francescana, three Michelin stars, Franco Aliberti continues on his path of experimentation and open-mindedness, dissolving the thin line between savoury and sweet

THE SAVOURY SIDE What is Franco’s B side?

That aspect of my character which I have managed to recover thanks to new experiences. Even if I have always had a sweet “heart” which has indicated the way, my working experience began in the kitchen. Over the years, acquiring technique, knowledge and experience, I realised how useful and essential the savoury aspect is, or rather my B side. Confectionery is an exact science and it is this fascinating world made up of formulas, chemistry, balance and combinations, that has given me a wider view of ingredients which allows me to move freely and, at the same time, cancel the line between savoury and sweet.

How did you arrive at this point?

For a long time I wanted to put my skills to the test, measuring myself against products such as meat and fish, and the only cuisine that has an overall open-mindedness is that of Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana in Modena, three Michelin stars. Each team member is perfectly able to replace another, each section works for itself but with others, and experimentation and knowledge are shared skills. The awareness of going “beyond” has been matured in this environment.

Which direction are you taking now?

I am trying to embrace my dream, to have an overall knowledge of gastronomy and to be able to open, when I feel I am ready, a place where I can express my idea of cuisine!

HIGH QUALITY AND FRESH CREAMS Ken possesses a highly consolidated and positively perceived corporate image, thanks to its technological efforts, its constant quality improvement and its attention to customers.

The range of products includes Ken Nata 38%, Ken Nata 35%, Ken Trufa, Ken Presto, Ken Láctea Azucarada, Ken Lactea 35%, Ken Culinario, Ken Gourmet Cuisine, Ken Gourmet Duo, and the latest product to reach the market, Ken Cremosa. Their level of quality is due to the care taken throughout the different production processes, confirmed with the ISO 9001.2008 Quality Certificate. Quality is also a direct consequence of an intense R+D+I process, that means investigating, developing and innovating on a daily basis. Moreover, Ken is located in a leading-edge factory with a surface of 10,000 square metres, which includes state-of-the-art facilities and automated processes, constantly updated and renewed.

The application of the innovative ESL Technology (Extended Shelf Life) provides fresh creams with a shelf-life of 180 days, achieved in the stages of production, treatment and packaging. In the production and treatment stages, ultra-pasteurization allows the reduction to innocuous percentages of microorganisms, without altering the product’s properties. In the packaging stage, microorganisms and external agents are stopped from reaching the product and hence modifying its life-time.

Ken laboratories analyze the whole process, from raw materials to the distribution stage. Microbiological, physical and chemical analysis are carried in order to guarantee complete hygienic sanitary conditions, and the company has also partnered up with professionals making experiments in order to test consistency, stability and texture, thus knowing how different products behave at each moment. Ken distributors, using refrigerated vehicles, are strategically appointed by the Sales Department and efficiently managed by the Logistics Department. In other words, a great effort is made with the aim of always achieving clients’ maximum satisfaction. www.skisa.com

Chocolate according to Eliseo Tonti After the success of “Tradizione in Evoluzione”, the book by Leonardo Di Carlo which was published by Chiriotti Editori one year ago, a new professional book in Italian has just came out – “Basi e Variazioni su Cioccolato e Confetteria” by Eliseo Tonti (shop.chiriottieditori.it).

Thanks to his professional skills and deep knowledge, Tonti has written a volume which will turn out to be a precious tool in pastry labs and shops. The author generously reveals his recipes, ideas and tricks as it happened in his previous "Decor 2000" in the Nineties, which transformed the concept of decoration. The new book celebrates chocolate in all its facets through classical and innovative recipes, because modern artisans must work on its versatility and popularity in order to obtain inviting and marketable ranges of products: indeed today Tonti aims at this purpose and here he succedeed in doing it.

Not only chocolate is explored, as the title highlights. Sugar confectionery is developed as well with the purpose of disclosing its modern potentialities. Moreover, as in the best professional volumes, the recipes are anticipated by an extended theorical section, which develops the concepts to understand the following pages, e.g. chocolate making, the use of cocoa butter, the “setting up” of recipes, the choice of products, hygiene, storage...

“I would like to explain to artisans how chocolate making could be absorbing and also its economic profitability. It is a gift both for the one who produces it and for consumers, and I hope that my suggestions will help to improve chocolate consumption”.

Mix the powders together in a container using a whisk. To one side, in a measuring jug, add the honey, eggs and milk, mix well using a hand blender. Melt the chocolate in a microwave oven, add the oilseed and then add this to the liquid mixture always using the hand blender. Pour the liquid part into the powders and mix using a whisk, until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous. Add the roughly chopped gianduja and pour the mixture into the baking molds. To cook in the microwave use molds in self-standing paper, in wood with greaseproof paper, in silicon or in glass.

Place the mold, or molds depending on the microwave, inside and cook for approx. 1 minute and 30 seconds, 2 minutes for a size of 200 g in a 900 W microwave. In any case, since the variables are many (microwave power, containers used for cooking, product quantity, type of magnetron, fixed or rotating plate), it is recommended to test the cooking for the first time, proceeding with times of 15-20 seconds at a time, until the mixture in the mold is cooked completely. When cooked, leave to cool and package as usual.

Icam makes a strict and careful selection of raw materials in Central America, Latin America and West Africa, working with farmers and local communities, following a strict ethical code and supporting local processing on the plantation. It is actively involved in improving local agricultural practices and the quality of cocoa, providing both technical and financial support. The cooperation established on-site not only increases profits for suppliers, but also enables better management of the entire supply chain, and ensures that only verified excellent raw materials are used. Furthermore, Icam has chosen to produce its own paste, butter and cocoa powder and uses only the best ingredients to ensure high quality fully tested products.

The Linea Professionale brand is produced in the new plant based in Orsenigo, near Como: state of the art technology is adopted in the production layout and in the latest and most eco-friendly equipment.

State-of-the-art machines Comfit coating pan by Selmi is made of AISI 304 steel and equipped with an electronic speed control to optimise the coating of different types and sizes of products. The introduction of air into the rotating tank cavity is controlled by a cooling system capable of speedily enlarging the size of confects via the introduction of chocolate. During the following phase, a resistance is used to smoothen and polish products and clean the machine. A thermoregulator on the control panel enables the adjustment of temperature to suit the required processing. Other data are: tank capacity 15 kg, hourly production approx. 15 kg/h, power consumption 1.8 kW – single phase 220 volt, cooling system 1,100 frigories/h. The dimensions are W 720 mm, D 770 mm, H 1420 mm. It is equipped with an interchangeable air filter and an automatic SpraySystem can be added.

The coffee roaster Roaster 20 uses a versatile air cyclone system (vertiflow® patent), which can also be used for the roasting of hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, barley, etc. The machine has a number of programs which control heating temperature, roasting (12-15 minutes for coffee, 5-7 minutes for dried fruit) and cooling time, and the final emission of the products. The programs can be personalised to obtain the desired grade of roasting time after time, with a product capacity ranging from 0.5 to 2 kg. Heating is obtained through circular ceramic resistors, while the choice and control of programs is made by a digital display. The machine is equipped with an internal removable peel collector and stainless steel roasting chamber and panelling. The dimensions are 740 x 1340 x 900 mm; weight: 120 kg; power: 10kw, three phase, 380 v, 5 poles.

The Micron – ball refiner is equipped with a refrigerator with the purpose of regulating, within the set limits, the excess heat caused by the friction generated between the spheres, in order to preserve the organoleptic qualities of the product. Its circulation during refinement is maintained by a dual purpose volumetric pump; the refining cylinder (20 kg capacity) is also regulated to maintain a warm temperature, to prevent the fatty residues between the balls from solidifying during pauses in the working cycle. The refining time is 10kg/hour, while the power consumption is 4kW three phase 380V, 5 poles, 16A. The machine, which needs to be connected to a compressed air supply, can be used to produce hazelnut paste, spreadable creams, pralinated products, cream sweets and all flavoured anhydrous pastes. www.selmi-group.it

A NEW ITALIAN MEMBER OF RELAIS DESSERTS In total, 5 confectioners-chocolatiers have passed the entrance examination for Relais Desserts International, on the occasion of their yearly technical conference, held in France at Yssingeaux, last September. Among these, there is the Italian Andreas Acherer, owner of a shop (www.acherer.com) situated in Brunico, near Bolzano. In addition, there are also two French (“Entering this International club is equivalent to having three Michelin stars!” commented Maëlig Georgelin, owner of the confectioner’s “Petit Prince” situated in Etel, Brittany, www.aupetitprince-etel.fr), an English and a Japanese. This is what Acherer told us about this gratifying experience.

Why did you take the decision to the admission to RD? It was actually a member of the RD, Eric Baumann from Zurich, who convinced me (www.confiserie-baumann.ch). Eric is a good friend and knows both my philosophy and shop well (according to the internal rules, it must be a member of the association that proposes a new candidate, ndr).

How did you prepare and which works did you have to present?

The preparation was very intense and it took place during the summer, which, for us at Brunico (provincial capital of Val Pusteria and a well-known tourist centre) is very difficult! I created an artistic pièce and for a sweet I presented a coconut daquoise with a lemon and coconut mousse, all covered in a chocolate mousse.

What does being a member of the RD mean to you?

A dream come true! It means being part of a group which brings together 90 of the best and most innovative confectioners in the world and this gives me great satisfaction. It is moments like this that reward you for all the hard work.

Visiting the Carpigiani Gelato Museum The Carpigiani Gelato Museum of Anzola Emilia, near Bologna, opened to the public in September. The museum is an innovative structure dedicated to the study, documentation, and spread of history, values, and culture of artisan gelato, that represents Italian excellence and creativity throughout the world.

The 1,000 square meter space has been carved out of the current Carpigiani headquarters.

The complex is built around a central garden that connects the various areas of the building, including showrooms and the Carpigiani Gelato Museum itself. The museum features an interactive tour that highlights three main themes regarding gelato: its evolution over time, the history of production technology, the places and means of consuming. More than 20 original machines found a new home in the museum, along with multimedia presentations, 10,000 historical images and documents, accessories and tools of the trade from ages past, video interviews, and workshops. The museum is indeed a place of tradition, memory, and identity, where gelato can be experienced as an important part of European food culture. Andrea Cocchi, general manager of the Carpigiani Group, says: “The Gelato Museum fulfills the dream of our founders, Bruto and Poerio Carpigiani, the two Bolognese brothers who made it their job to spread gelato technology, culture, and business throughout the world”. www.gelatomuseum.com
