Pasticceria Due Palme - Giovanni Pace

Giovanni Pace of the Pasticceria Due Palme in Palermo provides a winning example of how the use of a modern system like Irinox can live side by side with the ancient Sicilian pastry-making tradition.

After an apprenticeship in the family workshop where he learnt the secrets of the art of Sicilian pastry-making, he travelled in Italy and the United States where he discovered that even if you can make delicious cakes you need organisation in order to produce them efficiently and flexibly and cope with the competition.

“Using the Irinox system helped me work more efficiently. I’ve always put quality at the fore. Quality costs, because it isn’t just what you sell but what you’re forced to throw away …
A system that prolongs the product’s shelf-life and guarantees lasting high quality means reducing, or rather avoiding waste, because it extends the period during which you can sell the product! And in the hot months that can represent a major asset here in Sicily!”
