Merry christmas and happy holidays

Dear friends,

We’re in the final stretch to the end of the year, close to those days when we celebrate 2015 has finished and 2016 starts.

A few days of peace, dedicated to be with those we love and to open some gifts!
In addition, Christmas include the dates on which we get fat, unzip a button to continue eating and we eat lots of candies.
Good time to innovate and provide your customers irresistible sweets to buy as a dessert or just buy them as fancy gift.

We wish you happy holidays, a very good entry to 2016 and our best wishes for peace, health and love to you and your relatives.
Let’s innovate!

Ice creams can be desserts all around the year. Although many ice cream shops open only in summer, in supermarkets can still find ice cream all year and even in restaurants and bars can be ordered as a dessert nearly always.
And although the vast majority have associated the ice cream to an overload of calories and that to take it in winter not go well for our throat, a recent study shows the opposite.
