Ahead of the summer, Crosta & Mollica is introducing a pair of new fruit-filled Sorbetto Shells in Lemon and Pomegranate flavors to put a convenient spin on the classic frozen Italian dessert.
With its fruit-filled Sorbetto Shells, the brand is capitalizing on the significant increase in the demand for Italian cuisine in the UK. Additionally, sorbetto suits the high demand for plant-based options in the UK, driven by a growing awareness of the environmental impact of the dairy industry, health concerns and the desire for more ethical food choices.
Previously, the brand introduced its frozen dessert range with Tartufi, Tiramisù and Gelato. These new products offer a lighter alternative to ice cream or gelato.
