The new Arte Heladero guide 'Best Ice Cream Parlours in Spain' will be presented at BICA 2027

BICA (Bakery and Ice Cream Attraction), to be held from 16 to 18 February 2027 at IFEMA MADRID within the framework of Anuga Select Ibérica, will host the official presentation of the Arte Heladero Guide – Best Ice Cream Parlours in Spain 2027-2028. Driven by professional ice cream magazine Arte Heladero, this biennial guide is born to fill a historic gap in the recognition of Spanish artisan ice cream making, offering a specialised, rigorous and independent perspective, and aims to become a reference tool for consumers in identifying establishments that stand out for their personality, working philosophy and commitment to excellence. Selection will follow a rigorous evaluation system weighing criteria such as the sales space, work with raw materials, consistency of the offer and the presentation of ice cream in the display case, advised by a committee of more than twenty renowned professionals from the worlds of ice cream, pastry and gastronomy. Alongside extensive research, a candidacy form has been opened so any outstanding Spanish ice cream parlour can apply to join this first edition. Establishments included will receive an official badge of excellence to display, and one will be named Ice Cream Parlour of the Year 2027-2028. Choosing BICA — the new meeting point for artisan bakery, pastry and ice cream — will give the guide maximum visibility among professionals, manufacturers, distributors, associations and specialist media.
