Rimini, 23rd January 2016 – Gelato and cakes, teachers and students, trade members and buyers, journalists and cameramen. From all over the world, with skill and passion. Only a drone could give an idea of the comprehensive nature of the range of products, services and events that, from today to Wednesday, Rimini Fiera provides in the entire expo centre with the 37th SIGEP world-level expo of artisan gelato, pastry and bakery and Rimini Horeca Expo.
The ribbon cutting ceremony, entrusted to the President of the Province and Rimini’s mayor Andrea Gnassi and Rimini Fiera Chairman Lorenzo Cagnoni, was held this morning in the South Foyer with the participation of three extraordinary world pastry masters: Cher Harris (Pastry Queen 2014), Iginio Massari and Roberto Rinaldini, surrounded by a cheering crowd of fans thanks to their television success.
STATEMENTS
Chairman Cagnoni reminded, “It is worth remembering that SIGEP and RHEX follow up on the record-breaking 2015 edition, with over 187,000 trade visitors, 38.000 of whom were from abroad. The two expos have a very high profile, thanks to the participation of world-leading brands and the great international events we host.”
This was confirmed by mayor Gnassi: “SIGEP and RHEX feature significant high figures that communicate awareness and confidence. Rimini now offers its contribution to the country, using food culture, in this specific case featuring artisan confectionery. The key to development is to highlight the economies and values produced by our identity.”
NEW PRODUCTS ON SHOW
There are numerous new products on show, confirming the sector's dynamism. These include: vanilla biscuits with activated carbon to facilitate digestion, organic and vegan proposals based on 100% vegetable ingredients, products combating food waste, such as bread gelato with greens, coriander honey, royal jelly and pollen flavours for all-natural goodness; not to mention rìsotto alla milanese gelato for truly Italian-made taste, or gelato with twice the protein and half the fat of traditional gelato, also available in a bar version, for those who like to stay in shape without renouncing goodness. There are also professional cases containing gelato distributors and updated traditional carts updated with a modern slant for serving gelato at parties and inaugurations.
