Algida Cornetto Max Nocciola & Cioccolato

Cornetto originated in Italy in 1959 when Spica, an ice cream manufacturer based in Naples, developed a process to insulate the inside of a waffle cone with chocolate to prevent it from getting soggy. The brand was later acquired by Unilever, which expanded its reach globally. Today, while Cornetto is a global brand produced in various countries depending on the local market, the specific product in the image is marketed under the Algida brand, which is the Italian division of Unilever's ice cream business. Manufacturing for the Italian market typically takes place at Unilever's state-of-the-art facility in Caivano, Italy.

Unilever is a British multinational consumer goods company that remains the ultimate owner. It manages its ice cream portfolio through various local brand names (like Wall's in the UK or Algida in Italy), all sharing the iconic Heartbrand logo visible on the packaging.
