Our participation in the European Selection 2026 of the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie

As a company specialising in premium ingredients for gastronomy and, above all, for professional pastry, we have long supported the talent that drives the evolution of the sector. Our commitment to innovation, technique and excellence has led us to sponsor several qualifying rounds of the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie (CMP), a competition that brings together the world’s best pastry teams and serves as a creative engine for the entire pastry community.

For this edition, we are proud to announce our participation as premium sponsors of the European Selection of the CMP, taking place on January 18 and 19, 2026, during Sirha Bake & Snack, an essential event for bakery, pastry and snacking professionals. This stage will bring together the top national teams in a technical, festive and highly competitive atmosphere.

The organization has confirmed the participation of the following countries:

• Belgium.
• France.
• Italy.
• Netherlands.
• Spain.

Supporting team Spain: a natural and necessary commitment

Spain’s participation in this edition carries special significance. After a long absence, the country returns to the competition with a talented and cohesive team, eager to reclaim visibility on the international stage. From the very beginning, we wanted to support them in a natural, organic and mission-aligned way.

The team consists of:
• Marcos Díaz, captain and chocolate candidate.
• Albert Soler, ice candidate.
• Toni Pons, sugar candidate.
• Jordi Guillem, team delegate.

For us, supporting these professionals is a natural bet. Spain has a pastry community of enormous potential, with firms that are developing their own language based on technique, flavor and artisanal sensibility. Accompanying them on this path is an honor and a responsibility that we assume with enthusiasm.

A decisive stage for european pastry

The European Selection 2026 will be a vibrant and decisive meeting, where advanced techniques, mastery of ingredients and creativity will be tested before the jury and the professional public. The teams will compete to obtain their ticket to the 2027 world final, a stage where the elite of international pastry meets to show the highest level of execution.

As a company, we will continue supporting initiatives that promote excellence and innovation in pastry, standing alongside both the teams and the professionals who rely on our ingredients.
