Sammontana Ice Cream

Sammontana is Italy's leading domestic ice cream manufacturer, famously known as 'L'italiana più fredda che c'è' (The coldest Italian there is). Founded in 1946 in Empoli, Tuscany, the brand transitioned from a dairy bar to an industrial powerhouse that remains deeply rooted in Italian culinary traditions.

All Sammontana products are primarily manufactured in Italy, with major production facilities located in Empoli (Florence) and Colognola ai Colli (Verona). The company maintains its market leadership through a combination of traditional recipes and modern industrial processes, ensuring high-quality standards across its wide range of cones, cups, and bars.

Following a significant strategic partnership in 2024 with Investindustrial, the brand is part of a new global frozen bakery and ice cream group. Despite this international capital infusion, the founding Bagnoli family continues to hold the majority stake, ensuring that the brand preserves its Italian heritage and headquarters in Tuscany for the 2026 horizon and beyond.
