The winning ice cream flavour is called Frutta di Pistacchio. It is made with handmade milk and cream as well as Bronte pistachios and topped with raspberry sauce and a crunchy layer.
In Hungary, you can try it at the Fazekas Confectionery in Budapest. Here, ice cream is made from natural ingredients. In the Hungarian round prior to the final in Italy, Fazekas not only won his category but was declared the absolute winner of the competition.
In Rome, he surpassed a Dutch and a Swedish confectioner to bring the gold medal home.
The Gelato Festival is a travelling festival across Europe, Japan and the United States. They are looking for the best gelato artisan in the world. It is a huge honour that a Hungarian won the first prize in Italy, the home of gelato.
