Il Barattolo GELATO

Authentic Florentine gelato for premium retail distribution. Over 90 years of gelato-making excellence from the birthplace of gelato.

Buontalenti®:
The Gelato That Made History

Florentine tradition says gelato was born at the Medici court in the 16th century, thanks to the architect Bernardo Buontalenti. Our signature flavour carries his name.

1500s
The Origin

As tradition has it, Bernardo Buontalenti invents gelato in Renaissance Florence, for the Medici court.

1932
The House

Idilio Badiani opens his gelateria in Florence. Later, Paolo Pomposi makes Buontalenti® the house signature: 4 simple ingredients (cream, milk, sugar, eggs).
