The Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie is considered the most prestigious international competition in the world of patisserie.
Created in 1989 on the initiative of MOF Gabriel Paillasson, its mission is to promote and enhance excellence and professionalism in the field of patisserie.
ILSA is the official sponsor of the Club de la Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie – Italie, chaired by Alessandro Dalmasso, who, together with the World Champions of previous editions, is responsible for the selection, training and preparation of the Italian national team.

The partnership between ILSA and CAST Alimenti is based on a common goal: to raise the standards of training and offer students at hotel institutes unique opportunities to learn directly from some of the best professionals in gastronomy and catering. The synergy of two industry leaders creates innovative courses to prepare the professionals of the future, constantly improving the quality and efficiency of catering equipment.

The CAST workshops where courses are held are equipped with ILSA products and recreate an environment entirely similar to that found in a professional kitchen. Equipped with the same state-of-the-art equipment and technology used in the best establishments in the industry, they allow students to fully immerse themselves in the world of catering, experiencing every phase of kitchen work. This hands-on approach not only prepares students to excel in their future careers, but also puts them in direct contact with the real dynamics of the trade, making learning an exciting and authentic adventure.

In addition to supplying the equipment, ILSA actively collaborates with CAST Alimenti to integrate the latest technologies into the teaching programmes. This approach allows students to stay updated on the use of new equipment in the field of professional refrigeration and knowledge of the new possibilities made available by innovation.

ILSA collaborates with the Accademia della Macelleria Italiana, a reference point in Italy for training courses dedicated to butchers. Thanks to this synergy, it is possible to provide better and more complete training for professionals in the sector, developing knowledge not only of methods for cutting, cooking and preserving meat, but also of the most suitable equipment and new technologies for maturation and refrigeration.

The combination of ILSA’s technical expertise and the traditional know-how of the Accademia della Macelleria Italiana gives rise to a fruitful dialogue with butchery professionals that fosters a deeper understanding of butchers’ needs and promotes the search for ever more effective solutions to modern meat preservation and ageing requirements. The partnership contributes to innovation, continuous improvements of equipment and also to create a more innovative and sustainable future for the art of butchery.

The collaboration between ILSA and the Combiguru competition stems from the desire to support the training of students in hotel institutes, both national and international, and to offer the opportunity to learn alongside the best talents in the industry. This challenge, organised by Unox, is the number one competition in Italy for high school students: it gives them the chance to express their creativity and show their skills in the kitchen, putting themselves to the test with real professional equipment for the latest generation of catering.

The partnership represents a unique opportunity to enhance the skills of the young chefs, creating an immersive experience in an innovative environment that stimulates experimentation and use of modern food preparation technologies. To better support the students during the competition, ILSA provides cutting edge equipment that recreates the conditions of professional kitchen, allowing them to confront the real challenges of cooking.
