On March 12th, the Fòrum Gastronòmic de Girona hosted for the first time the final of the "La Millor Mona de Pasqua" competition, a professional contest that is establishing itself as a benchmark event for chocolate pastry chefs in Catalonia. This edition featured a distinguished jury sponsored by pastry chef Jordi Roca.

In the Best Chocolate Mona category, the jury assessed the originality, technique, presentation, and finishing of the pieces. After intense deliberation and the decisive vote of the "fillols", the first prize was awarded to Jordi Ortiz from L’Obrador Sant Tomàs from Calldetenes and member of the Taula Dolça collective. His creation, made with the chocolate mud technique and inspired by the Marvel Studios universe, stood out. The second and third prizes went to Pastisseria Fusté from Malgrat de Mar and Xocopunt from Molins, respectively.
