The 18 candidates for the next Masters de la Boulangerie, to be held at Europain in February 2018, will have to defend their pieces orally before a demanding and balanced jury formed by Johan Sorberg (Sweden), Wayne Caddy (Great Britain), Moïses Carmona (Costa Rica), Josep Pascual (Spain), Josef Schrott (Austria), and William Wongso (Indonesia).

These six professionals, who have a high level of experience, open-mindedness, and great knowledge in the three specialties that will be developed during the competition (Nutritional Bread Making, Gourmet Baking, and Artistic Bread Making), will not only evaluate the candidates in level of expertise, but also their ability to drive new trends, since creativity and innovation are at the heart of this competition.

Sorberg, as president, has four months to infuse the other five members with the spirit of the competition and prepare them to select the three 2018 World Master Bakers.
