The best bakers and confectioners from Austria, but also from abroad, present their products to an expert jury for three days. “The baked goods and confectionery products are all submitted anonymously; our expert jurors only judge the appearance, consistency and taste of the products,” says Leo Jindrak, Federal Guild Master of the Food Industry.
900 submissions from bakers and 140 from confectioners were recorded this year. “Master bakers from all over Austria and pastry chefs act as expert judges to evaluate the products over three days and give feedback. The aim is not to compare the products with each other, each one is evaluated individually,” says Katja Maier, managing director of the Austrian Food Academy. Excellent baked goods receive medals in gold, silver or bronze. The winners will be announced in April.
Verdict of the expert jury
What exactly is important about bread? Josef Schrott, guild master of the Federal Association of Bakers, cuts a piece of the loaf of bread: “First, the shape is assessed, then we focus on the smell. Finally, we try a slice and compare whether the bread matches the information and description of the submission fits.” The evaluation is carried out by a jury of at least three experts.
The taste and texture of the chocolate and pralines are also crucial for confectioners. “You have to remain objective and evaluate each praline individually. It’s the raw materials and the processing that count for us,” says master confectioner Brigitta Schickmaier.
