Translated as the “World of Bread”, the Mondial du Pain awards are held every two years and have been said to be the Olympics of the baking world.
The prestigious event gathers the crème de la crème of international bakers to compete across various categories, including Standard Bread (Pain Courant), Organic Bread using the Respectus Panis method (Pain Respectus Panis Bio), Health and Nutrition Bread (Pain Nutrition Santé), Artistic Bread Showpiece, and more.
A huge milestone for Malaysia’s pastry scene, Croisserie has found their win to be a humbling yet inspiring feat, sharing, “We are grateful for the experience and proud to have shared Malaysia’s craft, heart and flavour with the global artisan baking community.”
