A perfectly developed recipe
Cornetto cones were first produced in 1976 by an Italian ice-cream manufacturer, Spica, based in Naples. It was at this time that Unilever bought Spica and began to market the product throughout Europe. Thanks to the ads, including the famous operatic gondolier, Cornetto ice cream has become one of the most well-known ice creams in the UK.
Innovation
We’re continuously bringing new flavours to the Cornetto range and its crisp wafer cone. In 2004 the Cornetto brand launched a limited edition Love Potions range. In 2005 this was followed by Cornetto Mint and Cornetto Caramel in 2006.
In 2007 we launched the fabulous Cornetto Choco Disc – a cone filled with vanilla-flavour ice cream with a Dulce de Leche flavour centre, topped with a milk chocolate disc with cashew nuts.
We also made the Cornetto Chocolate recipe even better. It contains adelicious chocolate ice cream topped with caramelised almond and chocolate pieces in a crispy baked wafer.
