Three flavours. Three podium finishes. One world-class result.
Gelatissimo has achieved an outstanding result at the 2026 World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest in the USA, taking out first, second and third place in its category and reinforcing its reputation for exceptional gelato.
Competing against a highly competitive field, Gelatissimo earned top honours with three much-loved flavours:
- 1st Place – Cookie Butter: 99.85
- 2nd Place – Chocolate: 99.35
- 3rd Place – Pistachio: 99.30
With more than 1,200 submissions across the wider frozen desserts category, the results represent a significant achievement for the brand and a proud moment for Gelatissimo.
