Where to find the
best gelato in Italy?

There is of course no clear answer to this question, because besides qualitative differences in the recipes, it is primarily the different tastes of gelato lovers that lead to different opinions.
Nevertheless, there is much to be said in favour of Bologna, in the north of Italy. Bologna has historically developed as a centre for gelato experts. Not only is there a gelato university and a gelato museum, but many gelato manufacturers and companies have established here and have developed great innovations for gelato production that are now applied all over the world.

Once upon a time
in Bologna …

And it is right here in Bologna that our roots, our recipes and our gelato philosophy began. In collaboration with one of the best gelato makers in Italy, Galliera49, we have developed an exceptional gelato recipe for our stores that is second to none.
We focus on the artisanal production of our gelati, working with farming cooperatives from Italy that provide us with lovingly and sustainably produced ingredients, such as high-quality pistachios from Sicilia and hazelnuts from Piemonte, to fulfil our high-quality standards.
We use the many years of experience and meticulous care of our gelato manufacturers and guarantee an incomparable taste and smoothness of our gelato.
No miracle Gelato49 is on connoisseurs’ mouths, because it means “dolce vita” in the most literal sense of the term.

Gelato must be so Gelato49

No matter if dairy gelato, fruity gelato or frozen yogurt. Here at Gelato49, we guarantee specialities with the highest quality. We only use premium ingredients and unique recipes. Our fruity gelato varieties, for example, are characterised by an extremely high fruit content, which you will definitely be surprised to taste.

A gelato taste that clearly distinguishes itself from other gelato parlours.

Awarded: Gelato49 Pistachio Sicilia

The Pistachio Sicilia gelato is our pride and joy. Because this Gelato49 dairy gelato has been awarded the gold medal by the DLG (German Agricultural Society), because it impressed in all test criteria and scored the maximum number of possible points. A proof of quality of the very highest calibre, which naturally melts in our mouths.

Apropos: The ingredients we use for our award-winning pistachio gelato are all natural and highest quality. At Gelato49, we refine the only “real pistachios”, the so-called “green gold” of Sicily, into a delicately melting gelato with an exceptional taste using our fine Italian gelato-making art and the original recipe from Bologna. Try it and convince yourself!

Quality ice cream has its price

Unfortunately, price increases were also unavoidable for Gelato49 in 2023 due to higher raw material prices. This Servus TV report makes it clear why the use of high-quality ingredients for artisan ice cream like ours inevitably has an impact on ice cream prices.
