The expert jury composed of masters of the Italian gelato was fascinated by Martina’s ice cream Summer Pear, which even twice won the highest point rating – ten.
“We are very pleased with the award. The competition was quite demanding, not only due to strong competition, but also due to epidemic measures. We had to send the ice cream to Bologna, where the finals took place, by freezing express. Its production was then described, “Martina Březová describes the circumstances of the competition, which we used in 28 ice cream parlors in 17 countries. Previously, all competitors had to succeed in the demanding national rounds of competitions.
