As a family company, with the heritage of four generations of making ice cream cones, we are passionate about ice cream excellence and we like to share that with those starting an ice cream business. We like to take a personal approach with our customers, which is backed up by our bespoke ice cream training facility – the Antonelli Gelato Academy, which is the only one of its kind in the UK purpose built for ice cream training courses. As a company, we are dedicated to supporting our customers, whether you are starting an ice cream or gelato business or well established in the market. We have a full time National Technical Manager to answer your technical questions as well as provide ice cream training courses at the Academy and across the UK on your premises if required.
With over 100 years in the business, we are now the only UK manufacturer of all types of ice cream cone, as well as the sole UK distributor for Italian company MEC3 (who make world-leading flavours and ingredients). This makes Antonelli unique in the industry. As pioneers in the UK ice cream market, the Antonelli name is well known and respected amongst wholesalers, ice cream manufacturers and parlour owners alike. Twice our company has been approached by the BBC resulting in our factory featuring on the Great British Bake Off as well as the Cbeebies programme ‘Do You Know?’
