SIGEP is much more than a trade fair: it is the place where artisanal gelato tells its story, renews itself, and takes shape before those who live it every day with passion. This is where Ostificio Prealpino chooses to be, bringing with it a story born of craftsmanship, experience, and knowledge built over time—rooted in continuous research, careful attention to raw materials, and a deep respect for artisanal tradition.

There’s a moment amid the crowd’s murmur and the fragrance in the air when everything stops: the cone is ready, the gelato is perfect, and the artisan offers their creation with a smile.
It’s in that instant that the magic of Sherbeth is born the international festival of artisanal gelato, a celebration of knowledge, passion, and quality that transforms Palermo every year into a laboratory of happiness.

Ostificio Prealpino, always synonymous with excellence in the artisanal production of cones and wafers, is excited to launch its new line of gluten-free rolled cones and round wafers. This innovation adds to the other product lines that already bear our name, continuing our commitment to quality, food safety, and inclusivity. With the increasing focus on food intolerances and conscious dietary choices, we wanted to create a line designed to meet the needs of those looking for safe, tasty, and gluten-free products, without compromising on excellence or our production philosophy, which has always set us apart.

Ostificio Prealpino proudly carries a tradition that has spanned over eighty years, traversing three generations and rooted in an unwavering passion for quality, nature, craftsmanship, and gelato. Established in 1938 in Bergamo, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Orobie Alps, the brand was born from the visionary insight of Franco Minetti. He skillfully blended the art of pastry-making with a forward-thinking approach to the confectionery industry. From its very beginnings, the company distinguished itself by the excellence of its products, rapidly becoming a benchmark for gelato masters—not only in Italy but also internationally.
