Cornetto

Cornetto means "little horn" in Italian that is an Italian brand of frozen dessert cone. The manufacturer Algida is owned by the Anglo-Dutch company Unilever. Cornetto is sold as part of the Heartbrand product line, known internationally by different names, including Algida in Italy, Wall's in the UK, HB in the Republic of Ireland, Frigo in Spain, and Kwality Wall's in India. Several variations of the product exist, ranging from milk-based ice cream to vegetable fat-based dessert.

For a long time, the idea of selling frozen ice-cream cones had been impractical, as the ice cream would soak into the moist cone during the manufacturing process and make it soggy and unpalatable when served. In 1959, Spica, an Italian ice-cream manufacturer based in Naples, overcame this problem by insulating the inside of the waffle cone from the ice cream with a coating of oil, sugar, and chocolate.

The product is available in a variety of flavors, including Strawberry, Mint Chocolate, Nut, Lemon, Whippy (yogurt flavor with chewy chocolate), Valentine's Day flavors, and Cornetto Soft (soft ice cream that comes in chocolate chip, cookie dough, vanilla, chocolate, and double chocolate). Cornetto Soft sold on the street by vendors is made on the spot with an ice cream dispenser, but the other flavors are premade and factory packaged. Also, Cornetto Enigma is made, which consists of cookies and cream, raspberry, and double chocolate flavors.

Cornetto launched the product Cornetto loves to crunch, lip-smacking cones that are topped with chocolates. They also introduced cones of small size. This paper-wrapped crunchy cone has produced up to 1.60 billion dollars in the year 2015. Due to their availability of various sizes and products, Cornetto is considered one of the top ice cream brands in the world.
