Sammontana BIS! Pistacchio ice cream sandwich

Sammontana BIS! is a premium ice cream sandwich consisting of pistachio-flavored gelato nestled between two biscuits and partially dipped in a pistachio coating. The brand Sammontana is a quintessential Italian name in the frozen dessert sector, widely recognized for its iconic 'smiling face' logo.

Originally founded in Empoli, Tuscany, Sammontana remains one of the largest and most significant Italian-owned ice cream manufacturers. Unlike many competitors that have been acquired by multinational conglomerates, Sammontana is still primarily controlled by the founding Bagnoli family. The production is concentrated in Italy, specifically at their historic facilities in Empoli and Verona, ensuring the product maintains its authentic Italian heritage and quality standards. In 2024, the company entered a strategic partnership with Investindustrial to further expand its international presence while maintaining its Italian roots.
