Excellence since 1892

Ice Cream – in a broad sense – has a controversial history and its origins are difficult to pin down. Some trace it back to the ancient romans, others to the greeks, others even to the arabs. Ice cream, as we know it today, is the evolution of an all-italian tradition that has made it renowned worldwide as italian artisanal gelato.

The history of ice cream is synonymous with a booming industry, innovation and authentic flavours.

Since 1892, when this historic company was founded, Anselmi has renewed itself and injected new life into italian artisanal gelato, ahead of its time and with a natural, future-oriented approach.
