Training courses on making confectionery
MIA Food Tech opens the doors of its “Mia Academy” for the participation of individuals or groups in personalized courses on making specialized confectionery such as snack bars, nougat, dragées, pralines and the transformation of nuts into pastes and spreads.
The courses, held by qualified instructors and with proven experience in the field, are divided into an initial theory session on the use of the machines and definition of recipes, plus a second practical session on the use of the raw materials and the machines to produce top-quality products.
