Don't try to joke about Molise, whether it exists or not, because this time it has not only proved that it exists but has made itself heard loudly, with the victory of its 'daughter' Carmela Moffa.
She is, in fact, the champion of the Pastry Olympiad 2018held in France at 'Lycée des métiers Lautréamont' in Tarbes, the first woman, among others, to receive the title.
Resident at Ricciaa small medieval village of 5,133 inhabitants in the province of Campobasso, she is the one to stand on the podium of the world's top pastry chefsfollowed by the Roman Claudio di Blasi and from Varese Davide Pisano. In short, it is Italy that has won all the pastry art medals in this prestigious competition.
Winning over the jury of ten distinguished French pastry chefs at the final on 19 November was the sculpture in artistic sugar of Moffa, which also convinced the palate of those present.
