IT EN DE ES FR HOME ABOUT US ICE-CREAM AND SORBETS ICE CREAM PARLOURS RESTAURANTS CONTACT OUR HISTORY Our origins date back to the 1980s, when Luca started experimenting in the kitchen of the two-starred Michelin restaurant "Al Gatto Nero", which was run by his family at that time. In 1986 he decided to focus on the production of high-quality ice creams and sorbets opening a little artisanal ice-cream parlour with his brother Marco. The constant attention to quality, together with the efforts of the new partner Stefano, made our company successful both in Italy and abroad. Menodiciotto products are special, just like our history. . Our company started producing ice cream for high-end restaurants. We didn't follow the traditional path, we made something different instead: we successfully turned a small artisanal ice-cream parlour in a larger state-of-the-art plant, without compromising on quality. OUR BRANDS We already export the Italian goodness of our Gelato in many parts of the world, with our brands. “DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN” has been our motto since the beginning, as it reflects our core values. We believe that making ice cream is an art and, over the years, we have been growing thanks to the appreciation of our customers. We share Slow Food movement's philosophy, which focuses on valuing the finest raw ingredients. As technical partner, we helped in the SELECTION OF PRODUCTS FOR SLOW FOOD PRESIDIA – a worldwide initiative assisting local producers – and contributed to their fame by using them in our ice creams and sorbets. “GELATO MADE WITH LOVE” As the painter wisely chooses the colors on his palette to create a unique masterpiece, in the same way at Menodiciotto we carefully select the ingredients to create always natural and refined tastes. IOAGRICULTURA Today more than ever, the production of raw ingredients focuses on a selective approach and on traditional farming culture. A few years ago, we finally turned our dream into reality by launching IoAgricultura, an initiative grounded on the importance of traditional farming culture and of selecting raw ingredients at their very source. Basically, we started PRODUCING MILK FOR ICE CREAM in our own little farm, responsibly feeding our Montbéliarde cows with the hay from the nearby fields and caring about their health and welfare. OUR MILK The milk we use for our GELATO is produced in our own dairy farm. THE EGGS Our GELATO is made exclusively with Italian FREE-RANGE EGGS. THE FRUITS We only use fresh seasonal fruits to bring to you the most tasty gelato. Menodiciotto: delicious GELATO all year round! Each flavor has its own secrets Made with fresh seasonal fruits. From Granny Smith apples to the hazelnuts "tonda gentile" from Piedmont, in our gelati and sorbets you'll find a world of selected flavors according to the seasons The name of this project clearly demonstrates Menodiciotto's approach to business. IOAGRICULTURA aims at preserving and passing on to the next generations the FARMING CULTURE underlying our corporate vision. The name IO evokes the priestess who Zeus fell in love with and changed into a white heifer. Also, IO is the Italian personal pronoun "I". This highlights how Menodiciotto's approach focuses on a first-hand agriculture, based on two main principles: ETHICS ethics towards our final consumers, which have the right to buy good and healthy products, and towards our animals, which deserve to be respected and well treated. PHILOSOPHY our corporate philosophy based on selecting the best raw ingredients at their source and thoroughly understanding their characteristics. OUR ICE CREAM IS GREENER THAN EVER We now use renewable energy, thanks to the installation of rooftop solar panels on our headquarters building. By making this choice, we help reducing air pollution.
