34 years of history!

Menodiciotto ice cream was born in the ‘80s from the first experiments in the kitchen of the family restaurant (then the two Michelin stars "Al Gatto nero").

In 1986 Luca decided to devote himself to the production of high quality ice creams and sorbets, opening a small artisanal lab with his brother Marco and the new partner Stefano. Thanks to their continuous commitment, Menodiciotto has soon achieved success both in Italy and abroad.

OUR PRODUCTS ARE SPECIAL, JUST LIKE OUR HISTORY!

We started in the kitchen of a two-starred Michelin restaurant with the goal of creating high-quality desserts with sophisticated flavors. We did it by successfully turning a small artisanal ice-cream lab into a larger state-of-the-art plant and by building a unique know-how without compromising on quality.


DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE
IT IS TO MAKE YOUR ICE CREAM ON SITE?

You should take into account many different factors, including:

  • RENT of the space needed for production – that you can convert to sales
  • DEPRECIATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR COST related to systems, facilities and equipment
  • PRODUCTION PERSONNEL COSTS even if the ice cream production is carried out by the business owner, please consider that it takes time away from sales and customer relations tasks
  • ELCTRICITY, WATER AND GAS consumption related to production
  • cost of RAW INGREDIENTS
  • cost of the food processing WASTE
  • TIME AND COMMITMENT spent to purchase raw materials and to comply with HACCP regulations (ingredients, allergen management, etc...), instead of promoting your shop
  • RISKS/HAZARDS AND RESPONSIBILITIES concerns about workplace risks/hazards and responsibilities related to food safety

Based on our experience, the estimated average cost of producing ice cream – for a business with an annual production of 10,000 kg – is around 7,1 €/KG.

QUALITY AND PRICE THANKS TO OUR KNOW-HOW

You will have a finished product of extreme quality with an unbeatable quality/price ratio, difficult to obtain otherwise.

Our secret?

  • Ongoing research and experimentation: making good gelato and sorbet is an activity that you cannot improvise, but rather that you learn and improve over time.
  • The assurance of the best raw materials directly selected at the source and used as they are.



The milk

Our GELATI are made with the milk from our dairy cow farm.




The eggs

For our GELATI we use exclusively eggs from free-range hens.




Fruit

Only fresh seasonal fruit to guarantee the best GELATI AND SORBETS.
At minus18 for the whole year.



  • Pure and fine raw materials such as fresh yogurt, IGP Piedmont hazelnuts...
  • What you need, nothing more, nothing less. No preservatives, no artificial flavours, only the strictly necessary emulsifiers and carefully selected - which in our recipes are minimized, thanks to our deep knowledge of their properties.


Do you use “pozzetto” tubs or trays?

Choose the container you prefer


Why using “pozzetto” container?

“Pozzetto” containers allow to keep the ice cream and sorbet at the appropriate temperature, while preserving their organoleptic characteristics - included their amazing taste

Quick and easy product management, as less time and experience are required to display the gelato

Less storage space and defrosting needs: more time and money saved

Higher standards of cleanliness and hygiene

Suitable also for scooping granite - no need to buy expensive and unattractive machine for your granita!

Manager Meno18

Why trays?

They allow to beautifully present our gelato in your showcases, appealing to customers and encouraging them to buy

Our convenient single-use ice cream containers — specifically designed to look like stainless steel — can be displayed in your showcase and are available in different formats to best suit all your needs

Faster service: reduced wait times in case of long lines

Manager Meno18

"Should I give up my brand?"

Absolutely not, we are not a franchising! You can freely choose whether to become a Menodiciotto ice cream shop or sell our ice cream while keeping your original brand.


WE ARE A COMPANY MADE OF REAL PEOPLE, WITH A SOUL




"What will change?"

We’ll be your production lab so you’ll need refrigerated space for storage (we suggest vertical cabinets).

AT YOUR CHOICE, you can convert your lab into a simple storage or use it also for the creation of cakes, parfaits...
