ERASMUS programme 2022
Instead of the planned spring trip to Italy, which was postponed due to health issues and the war situation, the Hungarian group could finally visit four Italian businesses in the summer.
They went to panettone company Il Negozio Loison, confectionery shop Dolce Bassano Pasticceria, confectionery and bakery Panificio del Forno, and to Lucca Cantarin’s production facility. This article collects the most interesting experiences of some the trip’s participants.
Project manager Éve Vojtek mentioned Panificio del Forno in Moimacco, Udine, where they learned how gubana is made and saw a special oven, which works with a unique type of pellet – this is a great advantage these days, when gas and electricity prices are skyrocketing. Zsófia Szalai form Ideál Desszert in Budapest liked the chocolate show of Dolce Bassaono confectionery in Bassano de Grappa, where she saw water-based ganache for the first time.

Lucca Cantarin’s production plant made the biggest impression on Orsolya Vaslóczki from SUGAR!, where the bronze medal winner of the confectionery world championship employs 45 people. The family confectionery is more than 100 years old, but it was him who started making pastries. Trade teacher Rita Erdélyiné Kiss added that study trips like this are also important from a social and cultural perspective. //
