Guests from Canada and from the ice cream industry get to see how Loison’s confections are made

Download att.

Students and industry professionals came to see how a truly artisan Colomba is made at Loison. The first group came over from the Culinary Institute of Vancouver Island University on January 22nd, while the second group, consisting of ice cream makers of artisan shop Ciokkolatte - arrived on February 4th for a full immersion into taste.

 

The interest in touring Loison headquarters in Costabissara, from the part of students, businesses and industry professionals alike, continues to grow. On January 22nd, Martin Barnett, Head of the Professional Baking Program of the Culinary Institute at Vancouver Island University, came for a visit. After a fruitful meeting with Dario Loison during the Terra Madre event, Martin Barnett continued on with his tour of Europe. His journey lasted three months and included a study of Italy’s culinary traditions, featuring local specialties that bespeak of the country, just like Loison’s confections.

Barnett had the opportunity to see first-hand how sourdough is obtained from the natural fermentation of simple ingredients. With its acidic scent and aftertaste, the sourdough becomes the fresh yeast that is used daily in the various lines of production. At the end of his visit, Barnett created the Facebook page In Search of the Perfect Loaf to relate his experience.

On February 4th, young ice cream makers Alessandro Baldinazzo, Lorenzo Zambonin and Guido Zandonà, from artisan ice cream shop Ciokkolatte in Padua, immersed themselves in the highly fragrant, precious ingredients that enrich Loison’s products. Late-Mandarin from Ciaculli, Chinotto from Savona and Mananara Vanilla from Madagascar (all included in Slow Food’s Ark of Taste catalog) are regularly used in Panettone and Colomba making. The young ice cream makers’ goal was to search for a new flavor to add to their latest ice cream selections. Showing great admiration for Loison Museum and Library, the Ciokkolatte ice cream makers had the opportunity to fully understand the long-standing artisan tradition of pastry making and to see all the passion behind the making of a simple sweet bread by Loison: always with an eye on the past and focus on the future.
