The Galbani Professionale™ team got a taste of victory at the 2017 International Pizza Challenge™ (IPC). This year’s team consisted of 26 restaurant chefs/owners who proudly wore Galbani chef’s coats and used Galbani cheese to top their signature pizzas.
We’re proud to announce that three out of the top five finishers in the Pan Division were members of the Galbani Pro Team: Leonardo Rago (2nd Place), Chris Decker (3rd Place), and Tore Trupiano (5th Place). Plus, top scorers in each division of the Galbani Challenge took home $250 in Galbani cheese. Congratulations to all of our winners!
