Legum-Ato

ITALY - 2024

Innovative gelato made of bean and other by-products, 100% edible, packaged in a plantable paper box.

Sustainable delight, irresistible bite! Who said that gelato should be just a dessert? The rules change: Legum-Ato is much more than that. It is a concentration of creativity, land, sustainability, and passion for Tuscan excellence. It strikes the palate with an explosion of flavors that perfectly blend. A revolution of taste due to a balance between sweet notes and savory textures, which amazes at every bite. Legum-Ato is perfect as a dessert, perhaps after a tasting of typical Tuscan products in the Osteria or in the many gastronomic shops that animate our territory. But it is also perfect as snack under the beach umbrella or walking through the beautiful Tuscan villages, thanks to its 100% edible stick. Who knows, you might even find it an intriguing amuse bouche on the finest restaurant tables. A sustainable emotion created to give value to quality raw materials discarded for aesthetic reasons, such as beans, and to minimize food waste. For this reason, we also chose ricotta, a noble waste of dairy production, aquafaba, discarded legume cooking liquid, molasses, by-product of sugar production, and, finally, bran and middlings of ancient wheats. Even the gelato packaging is part of the journey: it contains seeds that once on the ground, will give birth to new plants. therefore, the cycle of life continues, and the story never ends. Now it’s your turn, try it and discover why is a sustainable gelato, with an irresistible taste.
