Talenti is an American brand of gelato and sorbet produced by Unilever.[1] Talenti is named after Bernardo Buontalenti, who is credited with inventing gelato.[2]
Talenti began in 2003 as a store-front gelateria in Dallas, Texas.[2][3] Founder Josh Hochschuler based his recipe on a traditional Argentine gelato-making method.[2] The gelateria was closed by 2005, and Hochschuler refocused the business as a maker of gelato for sale to restaurants, hotels and eventually grocery stores.[2]
International foods conglomerate Unilever purchased the brand in 2014.[3] In 2017, production was moved from Marietta, Georgia, to Unilever's central ice cream producing facility in Sikeston, Missouri.[4]
