Cornetto is a globally recognized ice cream brand that originated in Italy in the 1950s. The iconic frozen cone was patented by the Italian gelateria Spica in 1959, which developed the technology to insulate the wafer cone with a layer of chocolate to keep it crunchy. This innovation revolutionized the frozen novelty market, leading to the brand's acquisition by Unilever in 1976. Today, Cornetto is one of Unilever's flagship 'Heartbrand' products, easily identified by the red heart logo.

Production of Cornetto occurs in various facilities worldwide aligned with Unilever's extensive global supply chain, often tailored to regional dietary preferences such as the Gluten Free and Vegan versions showcased here. While the brand has Italian roots, it is now managed by Unilever PLC out of London, United Kingdom. Unilever continues to expand the brand's reach by adapting to plant-based and allergy-friendly trends while maintaining the classic cone format that originally made the brand famous.
