What does Stracciatella mean?

The term 'Stracciatella' comes from the Italian word 'stracciato', which means 'shredded' or 'torn apart'. In the context of ice cream, it refers to the method of creating fine shreds of chocolate. As the chocolate is drizzled into the churning Fior di Latte ice cream, it solidifies upon contact, creating delicate, crispy chocolate flakes that blend seamlessly with the creamy base.

How Was Stracciatella Ice Cream Invented?

Stracciatella ice cream was invented in 1961 in Bergamo, Italy, by Enrico Panattoni, the owner of the Ristorante La Marianna. Inspired by the traditional Italian soup stracciatella alla romana, which features ribbons of egg stirred into hot broth, Panattoni wanted to create a similar effect in ice cream. He experimented by pouring melted chocolate into the churning ice cream base.

As the chocolate hit the cold mixture, it hardened instantly and broke into thin, irregular shards, resembling the "stracciatella" or "little shreds" found in the soup. The result was a deliciously creamy vanilla gelato with crisp chocolate flakes dispersed throughout, offering a delightful contrast of textures in every bite. This innovation quickly became a hit, and stracciatella ice cream is now celebrated as a classic flavor around the world.

Fresh Milk - Premium chocolate for our Stracciatella Ice Cream

Our secret lies in using only the finest ingredients. We source our fresh, full-fat milk directly from local Berlin farmers, supporting sustainable practices and ensuring unparalleled freshness. The milk and cream blend creates a luxurious Fior di Latte base, setting the stage for the real star - Belgian chocolate.

Unlike other Stracciatella varieties that dilute their chocolate with inferior fats, we use authentic Belgian chocolate to guarantee a crackling surprise in every spoonful. This commitment to quality means our ice cream is dense, compact, and brimming with flavor, thanks to minimal overrun and incorporated air.

Experience the rich, velvety texture and the delightful contrast of smooth Fior di Latte ice cream laced with crisp chocolate shards. Perfect for any gathering, our Stracciatella Ice Cream is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
