Best Artisan Panettone in Spain 2023
Since EPGB and the Gremi de Pastisseria de Barcelona, promoters of the Best Artisan Panettone in Spain competition, included two categories - classic and chocolate - no one had ever won in both categories until this edition. The brothers Lluís and Gerard Costa took all the accolades by winning a historic double.
Our ambassador, together with his brother Gerard, received the first prize for his chocolate panettone, made with Ocumare 71.1% dark chocolate couverture and Zeylon 36.5% milk chocolate couverture, from the hands of the previous winner, Eric Ortuño. Minutes later, he returned to the stage to collect the prize for the best classic panettone, presented by Daniel Jordà. An enormous merit considering the high level of participation - with 80 samples presented to the competition - and the high level of the finalists.
These two new awards are added to the Best Artisan Croissant in Spain Award and Best Tea Pastry Award, which Lluís Costa won in 2015 and 2018 respectively. An impressive list of awards that recognises the trajectory, quality and passion that the entire Vallflorida Xocolaters team puts into their work.
At Chocovic we are very happy for this historic double and for contributng our flavour to the Best Artisan Chocolate Panettone of Spain 2023. Congratulations, Lluís!
