Edoardo Tonolli

The Art of Gelato

episode : 92

What could be better than enjoying gelato with friends on a warm evening? It's a simple pleasure that captures life's essence. But what sets apart a truly great gelato?

Meet Edoardo Tonolli, the Co-founder and CEO of Bacio di Latte, a Gelateria dedicated to crafting the world's finest gelato and spreading joy to every customer. 

"Bacio di latte" translates to "kiss of milk" in English, embodying their belief that while any ingredient can make a gelato, it takes something special to create a Bacio di Latte experience. Once you taste it, you'll understand the truth in this statement.

Edoardo's journey began in Milan, where his love for gelato blossomed during frequent gatherings with family and friends. After completing his degree, he ventured across the Atlantic and volunteered at a hospital in northern Brazil. Along the way, he noticed a scarcity of gelato shops in Sao Paulo. His passion for gelato collided with the opportunity to make his mark in Brazil. 

In 2011, Edoardo realized his vision by establishing a premium Gelateria in Sao Paulo. Today, Bacio di Latte boasts nearly 180 locations in Brazil and four stores in Southern California, with plans for expansion in the coming months. This is a story inspired by Italy, perfected in Brazil, and now leaving its mark on Southern California.
