3 days Recorded Online Master Class with Valerio Barralis

Currently based in Milan, Valerio Barralis was born in Southern Italy in 1985 in a family with French descent.

In love with pastry since his young age, Valerio turned his passion into a full time job after completing his university studies and several experiences in multinational organizations.

After years where the two jobs developed in parallel, his passion took over and started to train with some of the best professionals in the field. His vocation was clear: he wanted to be a pastry instructor and open his own school.

Valerio Barralis’s creations are based on the interpretation of pastry classics with a modern twist and are easily recognizable thanks to their eccentric shapes and original flavor combinations. The elegance of his work also drew the attention of some prestigious brands in the fashion and cosmetics industry such as Narciso Rodriguez and Shiseido Group, which hired him to create personalized desserts for special events. In the end of 2021 he made one of his dreams come true by publishing his first book «Je suis Valerio», entirely dedicated to modern tarts.

His Pastry Academy opened its doors in spring 2022.

Valerio Barralis is mostly appreciated for the aesthetics of his desserts which - in his idea - have to match their flavor. As a matter of fact, one of his mantras is «we firstly eat with our eyes, then with our mouths». The aim of the masterclass is to create a varied and colorful buffet of desserts such as tarts, tartlets, entremets, and petits gâteaux selected among the dozens the Chef has created in the last few years. Valerio Barralis will also focus on the theory behind the structure and composition of a modern dessert and will share with the students all his tricks to make mousses, crémeux, curds, glazes, sponges, etc.

The masterclass also includes a session dedicated to chocolate tempering to create the different garnishes to embellish the desserts made by the Chef.
