The Sorbet is made from up to 50% fresh fruit and only the best fresh seasonal fruits are used, such as Sicilian blood oranges or Ovale di Sorrento lemons.

After a finance career in London, Emanuele Zanchi – Manu Il Gelato Italiano founder – arrives in Switzerland in 2008; a training with the best Italian ice-cream makers allows him to open the first boutique in Geneva (Switzerland) in 2011.
