1Italy
No country has influenced the world of frozen desserts more than Italy. The birthplace of gelato, Italy perfected the balance between creaminess and intensity of flavor. Gelato contains less air and less fat than traditional ice cream, resulting in a denser texture and bolder taste.
Classic flavors like pistachio, stracciatella, hazelnut, and tiramisu are elevated through high-quality local ingredients. Whether enjoyed in Florence, Rome, or Sicily, gelato is crafted daily in small batches. Italian gelaterias prioritize freshness, seasonality, and artistry — making Italy the undisputed champion of ice cream culture.
