French Pasta Championship

Thursday, April 3rd, 9:00am - 4:45pm / Pasta & Tiramisu Stage

The must-attend event for pasta enthusiasts

A friendly and endlessly adaptable dish, pasta continues to captivate the French thanks to its ability to cater to all culinary desires. To celebrate this enthusiasm, the French Pasta Championship, organized by the Association of French Pizzerias and Oggi Pasta, is returning for its 3rd edition at Snack Show.

The contestants, divided into two categories – fresh pasta and dry pasta – will have to impress a jury of experts, including Simone Zanoni and Denny Imbroisi. An unmissable event for all pasta enthusiasts!

La scarpetta, the typically Italian gesture of savoring every last drop of sauce, will be at the heart of this edition with Barilla for Professionals, the official sponsor of the championship. The contestants will work with Barilla’s Premium Al Bronzo pasta, known for its unique texture and bronze die-cutting, which perfectly holds onto the sauce.
