Antonio Iazzetta essenza gelato

A new
family

Since 2020, Essenza has been part of Toschi Vignola Group, a historic company from Emilia based in Savignano sul Panaro.

A union that has strengthened expertise, resources and production capacity, opening new paths for research and development.

Experience
and vision

Essenza Gelato was founded in 2016 in Modena, born from the meeting between Antonio Iazzetta’s thirty years of experience in the world of gelato and the innovative spirit of his son Gian Luca.

Two generations, one direction: redefining the boundaries of natural gelato.

Advanced food technologies and natural processes merge into a carefully studied balance, allowing us to push the boundaries of artisanal gelato even further.
