THE WORLD’S FIRST

“GELATO PASTRY UNIVERSITY”

The world’s first Gelato Pastry University in the world will open its doors in Tokyo. It is a unique training
program, born as an offshot of Carpigiani Gelato University, whose mission is to develop new ways to fuse traditional
Italian gelato and high-level pastry.
Structured to perform as a laboratory of ideas focused on high quality, Gelato Pastry University will offer par-
ticipants a high-level curriculum, employing part of Carpigiani Gelato University’s methods and objectives. The school
has been designed to meet the needs of professionals looking to expand their training, with the aim of developing new
and creative product lines. The headquarters will be located in Japan, a country where the art of pastry has reached
maximum levels of perfection and innovation. The challenge is to develop a new segment of pastry that features the
culture of artisanal gelato.
The official presentation for the press and professionals will be held at 12:00 noon on 5th September, 2015 at
the Gelato World Tour Village at Komazawa Park. The event will coincide with the Far East stop of the “Formula One”
of artisanal gelato, which, for the first time, will land in Tokyo, making it the Gelato World Capital for three days (4-6
September 2015, Komazawa Park). The sweetest, coolest event in the world – during which the best flavor in the Far East
will be selected – will give life to a new project providing new, stimulating challenges in the world of frozen desserts.
