Why You'll Love Nocciobella
This flavour is inspired by one of the favourite breakfast combinations
of Jenn, our co-founder, which she insists more people should try:
Nutella on banana.
So we made it into ice cream form.
We use 100% Piedmont hazelnuts from Northern Italy. The fragrance, creaminess and nuttiness is heavenly.
We decided not to add yellow colouring to our banana sauce,
instead keeping its natural, translucent colour which disappears into the
hazelnut gelato. Every spoonful hides a surprise!

FAQ
Got Questions?
-
Q: What does 'Nocciobella' mean? Hazelnut in Italian is 'Nocciola' and since we add Banana, we highlighted this Beautiful combination using the word for Beautiful in Italian, which is 'bella'. Hence 'Nocciobella'
​​
-
Q: Is it like Nutella? We use 100% Piedmont hazelnuts for a very nutty taste and creamy texture. The taste is much less sweet than Nutella, and closer to a pure hazelnut butter than Nutella.
