ABOUT US

Our “ALBERO DEI GELATI” first set roots in 1985 in Lombardy (Italy) through the passion of our mother and father. There they began making gelato by hand, using only raw ingredients of the highest quality: fresh, seasonal fruit, organic milk and cream, chocolate and sugar. Later, in 2007, their daughter, Monia, her brother Fabio, and her husband Alessandro, took the helm of the gelateria, keeping the family tradition alive.

The new family team took the best of what their parents did and went above and beyond. They set out in search of the true origin of the raw materials they use. They began a long journey in order to discover who farmed the land with love in hopes of cultivating the best crops from it. They searched for farmers who shared the same values of respecting nature rather than exploiting it.

They listened to and shared the many stories of farmers dedicated to sustainable, organic and biodynamic farming practices that promote biodiversity. They chose not only the best and most natural ingredients, but also people who cultivated them in the best way possible.

Thus, in 2007, Monia, Fabio and Alessandro, full of passion and “farmers pride”, planted the first seeds of Albero Dei Gelati in Brianza, near Milan, where they currently have three “gelaterie” and have been crafting gelato with love ever since.

In 2013, Monia and Alessandro, opened Albero Dei Gelati in Brooklyn, Park Slope, the neighborhood they now call their home.
