Manchester based Antonelli is a family company born of Italian ancestry, passed on for four generations, originally known for the manufacture of ice cream cones.

In 2009, to compliment their growth in the competitive arena of the food production industry, Antonelli took on the UK exclusive agency for Italian manufacturers MEC 3.

MEC3 are the world number one manufacturer of ingredients for artisan ice cream, gelato, and desserts; bringing innovation, variety and high quality to UK chefs, bakers and manufacturers alike. An exciting new development to the MEC 3 dessert range is the practical and delicious Macaroon Kit. It comes in the form of a complete powder with a separate one for each colour: Green, Red, Yellow, Pink, Neutral, Caramel. All the baker has to do is mix up the powder, pipe and bake for a consistent and delicious tray of Macaroons.

Said Mark Antonelli, Sales and Marketing Director “We are sure that it will be a big hit with delis, farm shops, coffee houses and garden centres as it makes a fantastic display piece as well as tasting marvellous.”

Traditional pudding flavours for the ice cream season

In addition to the macaroons and with the anticipation for the new ice cream season heightening, there has been great enthusiasm for this year’s new flavours as ice creams follow the trend in traditional desserts. The new MEC3 flavours for ice creams and gelato, which Antonelli can supply include “Apple Pie” and “Cheesecake” as well as the exceedingly popular “Cookies Black”.

Mark Antonelli described that given the opportunity to sample these new flavours, customers faces lit up both at the sight and with the taste of these new exciting varieties. “The intensity and natural flavour profile have produced some amazing expressions of delight and left customers wanting more!"...

Top Banana!

…And actually there is more - just when you think the variety of flavours couldn’t get any better, Antonelli topped the tables by scooping an ICA (Ice Cream Alliance) award for their
specialist banana gelato. People tasting it for the first time were heard to exclaim “it even smells like real banana!” Zelica Carr, Chief Executive of the ICA, said: "Antonelli is one of the most highly respected companies in the ice cream sector and this award is well deserved."
