On 24th March 2020<\/strong>, all Europe will celebrate the Gelato Day<\/strong>, the eight edition dedicated to the European Artisanal Gelato Day<\/strong>. The only food category to own a dedicated day by the European Parliament! Ice-cream, because of its long tradition, is a symbol of artisanal excellence and creativity, explained with these words: “Among the fresh dairy products, artisanal ice-cream represents excellence in terms of quality and food safety, while promoting the agri-food products of each member state”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrations will be carried out with events and activities to develop the artisanal gelato culture through themed contests, masterclasses dedicated to ice-cream processing and its features, charity events with sports bodies and associations. Each year, there is a “Flavor of the Year<\/strong>” chosen by the participating countries: in 2020, the Netherlands have chosen to pay tribute to a classic, variegated strawberry yoghurt<\/strong>. In 2019, instead, we have honored a typical Italian dessert, tiramisu. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Artisanal Gelato in numbers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The artisanal ice-cream industry was composed by, in an esteem made in 2018, 108.000 ice-cream parlours<\/strong> distributed in 76 different countries in the world<\/strong>, generating a total turnover of 16 billion euros<\/strong>, continuing a positive growing trend which is restless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe <\/strong>is in the first position, totalizing 60% of revenues<\/strong>: the reason is that it is right here that the largest amount of ice-cream parlours is concentrated. Italy<\/strong>, in particular, is the undisputed leader worldwide<\/strong>, thanks to the 39.000 ice-cream parlours in the territory, which make a 2,8 billion euros turnover. Following, there is Germany (where almost 50% of the ice-cream shops are owned by Italians), Spain, Poland, England, Austria, Greece and France. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the world<\/strong>, on the other hand, has Argentina, USA and Brasil at the forefront<\/strong>, with a strong growth in the East thanks to China, Korea, Malaysia and Australia: lots of the Italians who moved here have diffused the Italian tradition of artisanal ice-cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy, in fact, is not the heart of the whole chain just for the production technique and the creativity of its master craftsmen, but also for the ingredients<\/strong>, the semi-finished ice-cream products<\/strong>, the production of machines and window displays<\/strong>, which are built in our country and distributed all over the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gelato Day 2020 then promises to be a major event for all the industry professionals who want to leave their mark in the European ice-cream scene, but also for all those who want to taste the “Flavor of the Year” in the ice-cream shops that participate in this initiative.

To stay on the same topic, we are showing you our proposal of a street food vehicle specific for ice-cream shops: Little Jack with an ice-cream counter is the perfect vehicle to promote how tasty your cones and cups are wherever you want! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
