GELATO WORLD CUP - 12TH EDITION - RIMINI, ITALY - JANUARY 2028
It’s the first edition and it gets off to a flying start. The competitions are: Triumph of Modeled Gelato, Decorated Cups for Table Service, Semifreddo Cake, Plated Gelato Dessert, Sugar Cake Stand, Ice Base, and Ice Sculpture.
France takes first place, sending a top-notch team: two Mofs, the vice president of the French Gelato Makers, and a world champion.
Italy, carrying the colors of the host country, bears a tremendous responsibility; the members, courageous pioneers of a new era of gelato, are thrilled to have managed, despite everything, to place third behind Belgium.
France’s contribution set a bar below which it would never be possible to go again. From that year on, the teams’ training sessions have continued for up to a year and a half.


France wins the first edition of the Gelato World Cup with a top-level team: Jean Claude David (Vice President of the National Confederation of French Gelato Makers), Alain Chartier (Mof), Gerard Taurin (Mof), Yves Gerla.
