The School of World Champions

CAST Alimenti school is considered as the World Culinary Champions forge. It’s the primary training center for professionals and teams in all the Italian Arts of taste: Cuisine – Pastry – Restaurant & Hotel Pastry – Bakery – Ice Cream – Fresh Pasta – Chocolaier – Pizza, attending both the National and International competitions.

CAST Alimenti school is recognized with the largest number of world awards in the gastronomic disciplines: 21 to this date, thanks to the latest award attained by the Team of the Italian National Chefs, relying on Marco Tomasi and Tommaso Bonseri Capitani, who won the title of World Champions in the Senior Category, placing ahead of Sweden and Singapore, in the Global Chefs Challenge held at Abu Dhabi from 30 May to 2 June 2022.

How can we forget September 2021 in Lyon, where the Italian team, represented by Lorenzo Puca (captain), Andrea Restuccia and Massimo Pica, earned to be on the top of the podium, becoming the World Champions of the 30th edition of the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie. The team trained at CAST Alimenti, which, with this new title consolidates itself as an important point of reference and hub for the research and development of Made in Italy, thanks to the presence of great master’s and young professionals who aspire to Italian excellence.

Both individual professionals and teams, from different disciplines, attending prestigious competitions find in CAST Alimenti the perfect location with the appropriate trainers where and with whom to prepare, train, compete and win.

The training sessions represent, for CAST Alimenti as well as for the professionals who undertake them, the opportunity to refine their self-discipline, rigor, commitment, determination, and product research: these efforts turn into further advanced and updated educational concepts. Training is about method and the CAST Method, refined in our laboratories throughout the last 25 years, flows from the world of competitions right into our classrooms, to train students and prepare them for the profession they have chosen to embark on with passion.

So many are the world titles that determine CAST Alimenti precisely the school where champions are born.
