Sammontana:
the authentic joy of real Italian gelato
Sammontana has written the story of gelato in Italy—a tale of entrepreneurial courage and meticulous attention to quality: from the careful selection of ingredients to delivering products in the best preservation conditions. This story has been built on significant investments in innovation and production technologies, combined with an ability to interpret evolving tastes and nutritional needs.
All packaged products are crafted with extreme care and attention to detail, adhering to rigorous quality standards worthy of a major brand. Since its inception, Sammontana has continued to innovate, introducing products that have become staples for millions of families.
Leading in Innovation
Being the first Italian gelato company to compete with multinational giants means breaking boundaries, reimagining gelato classics, and driving the evolution of tastes, dietary trends, and consumption habits.
Sammontana’s brand boasts a legacy of market success and innovation: from Barattolino Sammontana to Stecco Ducale, from Coppa Oro to the Cinque Stelle cone range.
More recently, the company has introduced new options for those seeking 100% plant-based products. With Amando—a delicious gelato made without milk and gluten, crafted with Sicilian almond milk—Sammontana delivers its signature creaminess to everyone.
Then there’s the huge success of Gruvi, the gelato stick that rewrote the rules: every bite is a revelation, creating a true obsession.
For Sammontana, innovation today also means committing to simpler, more flavourful recipes, using ingredients from certified and traceable supply chains, and pursuing a virtuous path toward environmental sustainability by progressively reducing product impact.
It all began with gelato: Sammontana was the first in its sector to sign a voluntary agreement with the Ministry of the Environment in 2016 to offset the environmental footprint of Barattolino Sammontana.
Sustainability at our Heart
From gelato and Barattolino came the first LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) studies on greenhouse gas emissions from Sammontana products. These studies have become a company standard, yielding significant results and setting an ambitious goal: reducing net emissions by 55% by 2027 through recipe adjustments and improved packaging.
Sammontana’s focus on sustainability also led to pioneering circular packaging projects. Today, Barattolino packaging is made with FSC-certified paper, while the bio-circular plastic of the Sorbettiera line is ISCC Plus certified.
Sustainability even inspired the creation of Amando, which was designed with eco-design principles, paving the way for the company’s broader innovation journey.
Sammontana Bulk:
Gelato as We’ve Always Made It
Sammontana’s bulk gelato is made with the finest ingredients and stringent quality controls throughout the production chain. The mixes undergo a lengthy maturation process and precise dosing to create refined, creamy recipes with a rich and natural flavour that retains its volume over time.
From stunning three-dimensional gelato "mountains" that captivate the eye and spark the imagination to irresistible layers of gelato topped with delectable sauces, Sammontana’s advanced technologies deliver delight in every bite.
It’s gelato made the way we’ve always known how, starting as master artisans in a small provincial gelateria and growing into the leading company in the Italian bulk gelato market, holding over one-third of market volume.
This is the art of gelato, serving the professionals of taste. Through a team of qualified experts, Sammontana supports clients in every aspect, from cold chain management and product presentation to showcase maintenance and turnkey projects for opening gelaterias under their own brand.
Sammontana Italia is the partner best equipped to meet every need of gelato professionals.
Sammontana for Private Labels: A Partnership that Evolves
Drawing on its unique expertise in gelato, Sammontana collaborates with major national and international retail chains to develop private label products.
The company offers its partners cutting-edge innovation, research, exclusive recipes, advanced production technologies, a direct logistics network from factory to customer platform, and the assurance of strict quality and supply chain controls.
Premium Quality for a Thriving Market
Sammontana’s collaborations with leading retail chains, both in Italy and abroad, have spanned decades—some for more than twenty years. These partnerships are built on ethical and commercial responsibility, mutual understanding, and trust.
This collaboration evolves alongside changing consumer habits, as more customers opt for private label products, including premium ranges and items designed for special diets or functional needs.
The R&D team develops dozens of exclusive recipes each year, produced in the IFS- and BRC-certified facilities in Empoli and Verona.
Bindi: Excellence in Gelato for Fine Dining
Bindi brings the artistry of dessert masters to gelato, offering recipes of the highest quality with meticulous attention to presentation and service for the perfect end to a meal.
Since 1946, Bindi has delighted Milanese palates with traditional gelatos, such as egg cream paired innovatively with fresh berries or classic homemade apple pie.
The Gran Gelato Bindi range, designed for the restaurant industry, pairs beautifully with a variety of desserts in surprising and innovative ways. With the finest ingredients, every flavour in the Gran Gelato range stands out as an elegant standalone dish or a unique tasting experience at the end of a meal.
Gran Gelato is defined by its use of Italy’s finest regional ingredients, such as Sicilian pistachios, Ciaculli late mandarins, and Sicilian lemons for the iconic sorbet.
Its rich variety, space-efficient formats, and the training and support provided by Sammontana Italia are the keys to the enduring success of a brand that, nearly 80 years on, continues to delight millions worldwide.
