Gelatelli Ice Cream

Gelatelli is a private-label brand exclusively developed by and for Lidl, the international discount supermarket chain based in Germany. The brand covers a wide variety of frozen desserts, ranging from ice cream sticks and cones to premium tubs, and is positioned as a budget-friendly alternative to major global brands like Magnum or Häagen-Dazs.

Because Gelatelli is a store brand, it does not own its own manufacturing plants. Instead, Lidl contracts with various large-scale dairy and confectionery manufacturers across Europe to produce the goods. Many of these products are manufactured in Germany and Poland, though specific regional items are often sourced from Italy to maintain authenticity. The brand is managed centrally by the Schwarz Group, which ensures consistent quality standards across all European markets.
