Tiramisù World Cup

The world cup of Italy's most beloved dessert

Tiramisù was born in Treviso, and from that root, it has grown to become one of the most well-known and replicated desserts in the world. The Tiramisù World Cup brings the dessert back to its home, in the heart of the Venetian city, with a formula that is as simple as it is irresistible: a competition open to everyone, where the contenders are not star chefs but ordinary people driven by a passion for home cooking.

How the challenge works

Competitors face off in two categories: the Original Recipe, which demands absolute fidelity to the traditional recipe (mascarpone, eggs, sugar, ladyfingers, coffee, and cocoa, with no additions), and the Creative Recipe, which allows for freedom in reinterpreting the dessert with unexpected ingredients and combinations. Preparations are first evaluated by a popular jury of volunteer enthusiasts and, in the final stages, by a technical jury of professionals, journalists, and food experts.

A widespread festival in the piazza

Around the competition, a rich program of events open to the public unfolds: free tastings, workshops, masterclasses, and meetings that liven up the squares of Treviso's historic center. The event is organized by TWISSEN with the support of the Municipality of Treviso and the Veneto Region, and it has successfully transformed an iconic dessert into an international event that attracts participants from Italy, Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

A Treviso symbol in the world

The event is not just a competition; it's a way to tell the gastronomic story of Treviso and the Veneto region, proudly claiming paternity of a recipe that today belongs to everyone. Participating or even just attending means connecting with a living tradition, made of home-style gestures and an extraordinary ability to unite generations and cultures around a spoonful of cream.
