Delizia’s affair with gelato started in 1915 when their great grandfather, Andrea, started making gelato for his bar in Messina, Sicily. With a passion for simple flavours and fresh ingredients, he shared his love of food and secret recipes with his grandson Orazio.
Almost a century later, Orazio’s family continue the tradition, perfecting the growing range of Delizia gelato and sorbet. With four generations dedicated to creating the best gelato, they promise the taste is more than just delicious, it’s Delizia.
Delizia is made locally in Geebung. They take the finest local ingredients including Queensland grown macadamias, Kensington Pride™ mangoes, Australian sugar and dairy. Then they combine them using traditional methods handed down through four generations to create the very best gelato and sorbet.
