Last week, I told you about the launch of Valsoia Gelato in the U.S. What I didn’t mention were the Valsoia Gelato Novelties that are also landing in the states. They include several single-serve treats made with almond milk and cashew milk, including Italian cones! We’ve got all of the details, and a place for you to leave your own rating and review (below) once you’ve tried them.
Valsoia Gelato Novelties Include Dairy-Free Dipped Ice Cream Bars and Cones
The U.S. line-up is similar to Valsoia’s European selection, but with a few less options. In Italy they also make some soya-based ice cream novelties and a coconut ice cream bar. These are the ingredients and details for the options in the U.S.
Italian Cones
This hand-held treat features Valsoia’s creamy almond milk vanilla gelato in a crunchy vegan waffle cone. It’s topped with chocolate and lightly salted chopped almonds. Yes, there are no peanuts!
Ingredients: Ice Cream: almond milk (water, roasted almond paste), sugar, coconut oil, glucose syrup, almond pieces, maltodextrin, water, cocoa powder (processed with alkali), sunflower oil, dextrose, pea protein, methylcellulose, arabic gum, carob bean gum, guar gum, sea salt, natural flavoring. Waffle: wheat flour, sugar, coconut oil, salt, caramelized sugar, soy lecithin, natural flavoring. Contains: tree nuts (almond, coconut), soy, wheat.

Italian Sandwich Bars
It’s double the fun with these crisp ice cream sandwiches. The middle is half almond milk vanilla gelato and half almond milk chocolate gelato. And it’s sandwiched with one vanilla biscuit and one chocolate biscuit.
Ingredients: Ice Cream: almond milk (water, roasted almond paste), sugar, glucose syrup, coconut oil, maltodextrin, cocoa powder (processed with alkali), dextrose, pea protein, methylcellulose, arabic gum, carob bean gum, guar gum, sea salt, natural flavoring.

Italian Salted Caramel Bars Dipped in Chocolate
The box for these Valsoia gelato novelties is different from the others because these bars are made with cashew milk. They’re also more indulgently sized with a rich salted caramel gelato filling and crisp chocolate coating.
