Premium frozen dessert brand Talenti is expanding its portfolio with two globally inspired SKUs: Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Gelato and Paradise Passionfruit Sorbetto.

Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Gelato draws from a classic flavour profile long popular in Italian gelaterias. The product blends smooth chocolate gelato with 100% roasted Italian hazelnuts, layered with fudge sauce and crunchy chocolate cookie pieces. The SKU targets consumers seeking textural complexity and premium inclusions within the growing chocolate-hazelnut subcategory.

Paradise Passionfruit Sorbetto expands Talenti’s dairy-free offerings. Made with 100% real passionfruit juice sourced from South America and Southeast Asia, the sorbetto delivers a sweet-tart flavour profile with floral notes. The launch aligns with continued growth in fruit-forward and plant-based frozen desserts, while reinforcing the brand’s emphasis on globally sourced ingredients.

“We love how different these two flavours are, while still feeling equally craveable,” said Nicole Towner, associate director, Talenti. “One delivers an Italian-inspired, chocolatey richness, and the other brings a vibrant, tropical freshness.”

Both flavours are available now at major retailers nationwide with an MSRP of $5.49 per pint. The launches strengthen Talenti’s leadership in the premium gelato segment, where it remains the best-selling gelato brand in the United States.

Talenti is part of The Magnum Ice Cream Company, the world’s largest ice cream company, which reported €7.9 billion in revenue in 2024 and distributes products across 80 countries.
