Carpigiani Sponsors the Défi des Glaciers at Salon du Chocolat
The 27th Salon du Chocolat in Paris, the world’s biggest event for chocolate and cocoa, ran from 28 October to 1 November 2022 at Porte de Versailles. Carpigiani sponsored one of its competitions, the first edition of the Défi des Glaciers.
The Défi des Glaciers
Visitors over the five days enjoyed a fashion show, live demonstrations, entertainment and prestigious competitions. The Défi des Glaciers was organised by the CNGF (Confédération Nationale des Glaciers de France) and Pâtissiers dans le monde. The two-day contest took place on 28 and 29 October, and a jury of respected professionals chose “the best ice cream or sorbet of 2022”.
A charity angle
Some of the ice creams and sorbets went to the jury, and the rest were sold to the public in disposable pots for €3. All profits were donated to support sick children at the Necker Hospital in Paris, under the patronage of Benoit Couvrand, associate chef of Cyril Lignac.
