Addison business wins Gelato world tour Gelato D’Oro to compete in world finals in Italy
“
These seven gelato artisans delighted some of the best taste buds in Chicago with their wonderful gelato creations.” – Laura Duca, Director of the Illinois Challenge
Seven flavors were selected as finalists and came together over the weekend to compete for a spot at the Grand Finale of the Gelato World Tour in Italy. A panel of expert culinary judges (50 percent) combined with the public vote (50 percent) decided the outcome of the competition. The winners were announced at the Bon Appetit Culinary Stage at the close of Chicago Gourmet event. “These seven gelato artisans de-
lighted some of the best taste buds in Chicago with their wonderful gelato creations,” said Laura Duca, Director of the Illinois Challenge. “We wish Chef Michael Meranda, who will represent the Americas region at the Grand Finale of the Gelato World Tour in Rimini, Italy in 2017, all the best.” “It’s a high honor for Gelato D’Oro to represent Chicago and the United States with our Signature Gelato flavor ‘Breakfast at Nonna’s House’ at the Grande Finale of the Gelato World Tour in Rimini, Italy,” said Chef Meranda. “From day one till now, it has been a grand opportunity to help create a truly authentic Italian experience through our Gelato creations.” The Gelato World Tour (GWT), the world’s premiere cross-cultural artisan gelato competition, is the first international traveling competition in search of the best flavors in the world. GWT is supported by The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Economic Development, as well as the Regione Emilia Romagna.

The GWT is directed by Carpigiani Gelato University; the world’s most renowned school for successful gelato entrepreneurs, and Sigep – Rimini Fiera, the world’s premier artisan gelato tradeshow.
