GELATO PETRINI 3 Years Strong at Kosherfest

Delray Beach, FL - Gelato Petrini is back for its third year as an exhibitor at Kosherfest. So much has happened since they first exhibited their delicious gelati and sorbetti in 2011. In 2011, Gelato Petrini, still operating under the name The Gelato Shoppe Petrini, made its first appearance at the show. The response was so positive that the decision was made to expand the business outside the South Florida kosher market, where the product was primarily sold in scoops shops, kosher restaurants and specialty shops. Thanks to the success at Kosherfest 2011, two months later, Chef Mauro Petrini joined forces with Koby and Jim Cohen, gelato passionistas, to build the brand and increase production capacity. At Kosherfest 2012, Gelato Petrinis Chocolate Peanut Butter Soy gelato won Best Dessert and Best in Show. This was an exciting time for the company as they were in the process of building a new manufacturing facility and gearing up to launch their product nationally. In February 2013, in time for Passover, Gelato Petrinis new F.D.A. approved, state-of-the- art manufacturing facility with close to a 1 million gallon capacity was completed. With separate two production lines, Gelato Petrini is capable of producing small and large batches of gelato and sorbets for the retail and food service industries. Gelato Petrini brand gelati and sorbetti are now available in retail outlets such as Winn Dixie, Epicure Supermarkets, Kosher Marketplace as well as co-packs for stores like Winstons and Bassetts Markets in Ohio as well as food service sizes to caterers, country clubs, restaurants , casinos, resorts and scoops shops throughout the United States. Coming January 2014, Gelato Petrinis pareve, dairy and cholov yisroel gelati and sorbetti will be available for purchase online through Gelato Petrinis online store www.gelatopetrini.com.
