Teamwork, commitment, the personal conviction of each of the members, experience, the drive and faith of the captain Jordi Bordas, the ability to learn, the discretion and the efficient work done by Josep Maria Rodriguez, and the rigour, professionalism and ability of Julien Alvarez, were decisive in this collective triumph.

the very top, and Spain is now one of them. The Spanish team's well-deserved victory is precisely the triumph of effort, determination and the conviction that no matter how hard or costly it may be, no task is impossible. Dobla's new Chef's Collection is based on the same philosophy. All of these products are unique in their kind- they are hand-made, still affordable and designed by chefs for chefs. Not an easy task- but not impossible. With this new range of hand-made decorations we help our customers to create artistic cakes and desserts in a fling to differentiate themselves. You have to stand out from the crowd to reach the top, just like team Spain did.
