G.S. Gelato & Desserts Marks 25 Years as a Frozen Gelato and Sorbet Processor
G.S. Gelato & Desserts, a manufacturer of gelato, sorbetto, plant-based frozen desserts and soft serve in the United States, recently celebrated it's 25th anniversary. What was once just the dream of a young, ambitious Italian couple has grown consecutively every year to become a supplier of branded and private label frozen indulgences for the foodservice and retail/grocery industries.
G.S. Gelato's owners, Guido Tremolini and Simona Faroni traveled from Italy to the United States in 1995 and instantly fell in love with the country and the idea of the American dream. Without knowing a word of English, they moved to Fort Walton Beach, FL in 1996 and imported Italian gelato-making equipment. Their dream was crushed when they found out the machinery was not authorized for use in the country. Months of hard work followed, struggling to learn a new language while simultaneously trying to get their equipment up to code and survive! A year and a half later, G.S. Gelato became the first manufacturer in the United States to receive approval from both the FDA and USDA for the production of wholesale gelato and sorbet.
