January’s Thematic Stages Cover Industrial Confectionery,
Coffee and Beer
The students of all three years of the degree course have been participating in thematic stages in the second half of January, studying the coffee, industrial confectionery and beer.
The first-year students were hosted by Lavazza from January 29 – February 2 to learn about coffee, from history to marketing to commodity economics to consumer strategies.
From January 15-19 the second year travelled to a number of large-scale producers of confectionery and chocolate, including Baratti & Milano, Elah Dufour, Ferrero, Pastiglie Leone, Caffarel and Lindt & Sprüngli to study production technology and processees as well as marketing.
The third-years spent five days, divided into three groups, immersed in the world of beer. From January 22-26 they were in Piedmont, Friuli-Venezia Giulia or South Tyrol and Lombardy to learn about the history and production of both artisanal and industrial beers.
