Treviso, Foodini the printer that makes Tiramisu in 3D

Gift of Twissen to the “Lepido Rocco” professional institute in Lancenigo di Villorba

TREVISO. Coffee, eggs, mascarpone, ladyfingers, sugar and bitter cocoa. .. in 3D. Foodini, a machine developed by the Spanish Natural Machines and able to print food in three dimensions, “performed” on Tuesday 3 May in the halls of the professional institute “Lepido Rocco” in Lancenigo di Villorba in a fascinating demonstration at which He took part Stefano Serafini winner of the Tiramisù World Cup in 2021.

Donated by Twissen (organizer of the Tiramisù World Cup) to the Treviso school directed by Alberto Visentin, the printer has created on-site tiramisu single portions containing all the original ingredients: an aid that will be of great help for future pastry chefs or chefs of the institute, who, thanks to Foodini, will be able to explore and create new dishes. Not, therefore, a substitute or “enemy” of the chef in flesh and blood, but a valid helper and above all a companion in experiments.

The call to the Tiramisù World Cup from Spain shows that Natural Machines, to include the canonical recipe of tiramisu in its database, has focused on Treviso and the now consolidated reality that, every autumn, brings hundreds of passionate amateur pastry chefs to the city for try your hand at the greedy challenge.

Now it will be possible to create gastronomic goodies remotely thanks to a printer which, aimed at food processing, is supplied with the ingredients necessary for the realization of the recipes for which it has received the exact list via file. Dishes that, made with fresh products inserted in the special “compartments”, are not so far, in terms of flavors, from those made by any person passionate about cooking. “Purists may remain skeptical of this new technology, but 3D food printing is a new frontier that is opening up more and more,” he stressed.
