XVI Creative Cooking Competition at Madrid Fusion 2026
The competition aims to promote knowledge of Italian pantry products, particularly emphasizing some of the factors that have contributed to making this cuisine one of the world's favorites: the excellence of its raw materials and authentic flavors.
Within the framework of Madrid Fusión Alimentos de España 2026, the best Creative Cuisine recipe with Italian ingredients from the Negrini catalog will be awarded.
Aimed at cooking professionals, of legal age.
At least 3 ingredients in each recipe must be from the Negrini catalog, one of which must be GUANCIALE AFFUMICATO.
Prize: The winner will enjoy a gastronomic trip to Italy visiting wineries, food production centers, presentation courses and restaurants.
Special Prize: a selection of wines from the Negrini catalog for the best pairing between dishes and wines among the finalist recipes.
Participants can submit a maximum of THREE recipes, each with a technical sheet indicating: ingredients, preparation process describing the type of bread and Negrini products used, and a photograph (one per recipe and in high resolution).
Recipes in other formats will not be accepted. The deadline for recipe submissions is January 12, 2026. Six recipes will be selected from those received to advance to the final round.
