This is the flan from Málaga that aims to be the best in the world in a month: the restaurant is located in the capital and Ronda.

With less than a month to go until a new edition of Madrid Fusión Alimentos de España, new details of this edition are emerging. Among the many contests and championships scheduled for this 24th edition, under the theme "The Customer Takes Charge," there will be a new event: the First Championship for the Best Flan in the World, which will feature a representative from Málaga. The restaurant Tragatá, led by chef Benito Gómez, with locations in Ronda and in Málaga capital, will present its entry in hopes of winning the title of 'best flan in the world' at the end of January.

Sponsored by Huevos Redondo, a "company committed to product quality," Madrid Fusión includes this First Championship for the Best Flan in the World among its culinary contests. Tragatá has long considered its flan one of its star offerings, a favorite among patrons of Tragatá, and did not hesitate to aim high with this championship, where Antonio Puente will represent them. They are already familiar with these competitions, having won titles in the past for the best Russian salad in Spain and the best tripe. Now they are going for the flan.

"Simplicity turned into art. A universal dessert that, in expert hands, reveals technique, sensitivity, and an absolute mastery of balance," is how Madrid Fusión describes this new Championship for the Best Flan in the World, a title that will be contested on Tuesday, January 27th. Chefs, cooks, and professionals from the sector had until last December 15th to submit their entries, among which was the recipe from Tragatá, one of the six selected, which had to "stand out for its technique and creativity" and be made "exclusively with natural ingredients, without any chemical additives, using Huevos Redondo as a base, emphasizing the key product of the contest".

From Madrid Fusión, it is highlighted that "the jury will be composed of renowned journalists, chefs, pastry chefs, and food sector experts" and that they will evaluate, among other things, the flavor, texture, technique, and presentation of each flan presented, and only one can win the coveted title of 'Best Flan in the World 2026'.

"The championship, sponsored by Huevos Redondo, highlights an essential product in Spanish cuisine and reaffirms the importance of flan as a symbol of simplicity, technique, and culinary emotion," conclude from Madrid Fusión. Alongside Antonio Puente from Tragatá, other chefs like Fabiola George (Estimar – Barcelona and Madrid), Sergio Fernández (La Leña de Cobo – Madrid), Iván Domínguez (Nado – A Coruña), Ana Llop (Llisa Negra – Valencia), and Carlos Griffo (Restaurante Quinqué – Madrid) will also compete.
