Some say it was born in Sicily, others claim it was invented at the court of Catherine de’ Medici… but when it comes to gelato, its origins hardly matter—because it has become an integral part of Italy’s sweet tradition, from North to South. That’s why we could not help but create Venchi Gelato, freshly made every day in our Chocogelaterie and perfect to enjoy at any time of the day!
Gelato for Lunch
Summer is on its way, temperatures are rising, and when lunchtime comes around, we all crave something refreshing: sometimes gelato can take the place of a meal—as long as it’s artisan, crafted with genuine and natural ingredients. Why not prepare a light salad and then take a pleasant stroll outdoors while enjoying a scoop? Pair a fruity, refreshing flavour with a more indulgent creamy one, for a lunch break that ends on a delicious and revitalising note!
An Afternoon Gelato Snack
Especially when lunch has been quick and light, mid-afternoon is the perfect time for a little treat—and enjoying gelato as a snack is a simple, wholesome alternative to packaged snacks. Fruity flavours are fresh and thirst-quenching, while richer options are ideal for a moment of indulgence. Those who can’t resist temptation will love our Venchi Gelatoshake, irresistibly creamy and finished with a sprinkle of crunchy Chocoviar grains.
Gelato can also be paired with a slice of homemade cake: just a scoop of vanilla gelato will transform a humble apple pie or classic sponge cake into something truly special!
Gelato for Dinner
Ending the day with a good artisan gelato is a well-deserved reward after a long day’s work. For those who prefer something less sweet, go for the sublime pistachio gelato, made with the unmistakable and prized Pistacchio Verde di Bronte DOP. Looking for a gourmet experience? Try Bacio di Dama, inspired by the famous Piedmontese recipe, or Ricotta e Chocolate, with its original sweet-and-savoury contrast.
When on holiday, a gelato after dinner is a must-have—but there are so many occasions to turn it into an elegant dessert: why not complete a formal dinner with a timeless gelato affogato al caffè or a sophisticated twist with rum? Alternatively, indulge in a decadent dark chocolate sorbet like Azteco Venchi, made using a vegan recipe that pleases every guest.
