The European Day of Artisan Ice Cream 2023 allowed Dénia to taste the European flavor of the year

27 March 2023 - 09: 53

The Mercat Municipal de Dénia was the epicenter of the celebration of the European Day of Artisan Ice Cream last Friday, March 24. Three renowned artisan ice cream makers, Marco Miquel, Álvaro Verdú and Óscar Palacio, offered a tasting of ice creams made with typical products of the Marina Alta, including Apfelstrudel ice cream, chosen as the European Flavor of the Year 2023.

Attendees were able to enjoy a variety of unique flavors, such as sobrassada, sweet potato and raw almond ice cream, Valencia water, blood orange, muscatel grape, pumpkin and chocolate, nougat or shortbread, among others. The mayor of the city, Vicent Grimalt, highlighted the importance of valuing a product as authentic as artisan ice cream, made with local products, and celebrating it at the Mercat Municipal, an emblematic place that represents the diversity and richness of local products.

The president of the National Association of Artisan Ice Cream, Marco Miquel, highlighted the importance of this event to disseminate this year's star flavor, Apfelstrudel, and the possibility of using the many products that are available in the region to turn them into ice cream. For his part, the provincial deputy, Javier Gutiérrez, stated that this day is a great day to enjoy local products and learn about the work of artisans from the province of Alicante.

The European Day of Artisanal Ice Cream is celebrated to highlight the excellence in terms of quality and food safety that this dairy product represents, and to enhance the agri-food products of each Member State. To date, ice cream remains the only food to which the European Parliament has dedicated a day.

    They talk about the use of local products and they choose a flavor of a German dessert, of course... That knee is well sunk and that head is well lowered as always... Did the orchestra come to play music too? A good Nougat ice cream for example It is an excellent proposal and by the way foreigners find out that it is the Turrón that many have been living here for decades and don't even know it.
