The world of gelato is buzzing – a melting pot of creativity and innovation that evolves with every season. And 2025 is no exception, promising an explosion of new flavours, surprising trends, and a growing focus on quality and sustainability. From Australian pistachios to Japanese matcha, from Dubai’s spiced chocolate to vegan alternatives, the ice cream of the future is global, inclusive, and full of personality.
From artisanal workshops to international gourmet parlours, 2025’s trending flavours reflect a deepening commitment to sustainability: organic, locally sourced ingredients and full transparency about origins and production. Gelato makers will increasingly highlight where their ingredients come from and how they’re made, offering consumers not just delicious gelato but also a more “conscious” one.
Pistachio: A Classic Winning Over Australia
Topping the list, surprisingly, is a traditional flavour: pistachio. But not just any pistachio. In Australia, this ingredient has reached near-iconic status thanks to gelaterias like Messina, famous for its Pistachio Praline – a rich combination of pure pistachio and irresistible crunch. The key? Sourcing the finest nuts, often from Sicily or Iran, and striking the perfect balance between sweetness and toasty depth, winning over even the most sophisticated palates.
Matcha Latte: Japan’s Zen Influence
Another standout is matcha latte – a fusion of Japanese powdered green tea and milk (dairy or plant-based). With its bright green colour and earthy aroma, this gelato appeals not just for its striking look but also for its antioxidant properties and unique flavour profile: mildly bitter yet creamy, with an “umami” note that attracts those seeking something more refined than traditional sweet flavours. It’s a favourite among superfood enthusiasts and fans of cultural fusion.
Dubai Chocolate: Middle Eastern Opulence in Gelato Form
Innovative and indulgent, Dubai Chocolate is a new frontier for chocolate lovers. Here, cocoa meets Middle Eastern influences like kataifi pastry, pistachio cream, and tahini (sesame paste). The result? A rich interplay of crunchy and creamy textures with a deep, sensual flavour profile. This gelato tells the story of the Gulf’s flavours, blending Western sweetness with Eastern spices and textures.
Vegan Gelato: Health, Ethics, and Creativity
Vegan gelato is no longer just an alternative – it’s a booming category, driven by ethical choices, dietary restrictions, and a health-conscious market. Coconut, almond, or soy milk bases can achieve surprisingly creamy textures, often indistinguishable from dairy versions. The real magic lies in the creative freedom it offers: from tropical sorbets to nut-, spice-, and superfood-based flavours, vegan gelato has become a hub for innovation and inclusivity.
These trending flavours speak to more than passing preferences – they’re about travel, identity, open-mindedness, and well-being. Whether chosen for nostalgia, curiosity, or awareness, every cup today is a small declaration of taste and worldview. And the future promises even more surprises.

In the food industry, operational performance is built on the precision and quality of every single component. For companies operating in environments governed by strict regulations, the careful selection of materials and the technical specifications of castors and mobile supports are essential to ensure maximum resistance, hygiene, safety, and durability.
Material handling systems must not only be capable of managing significant loads under demanding working conditions, but also meet rigorous sanitation and durability standards, minimizing the risk of contamination and ensuring consistent, long-term performance.
With more than eighty years of experience across four generations, AVO has a deep understanding of the sector’s requirements and has developed a product range entirely dedicated to overcoming these challenges.
AVO solutions are engineered to maintain superior performance even at high temperatures, a common factor in environments such as industrial kitchens, pasteurization plants, and ovens. Our range includes castors made from compounds that offer excellent resistance to chemical agents and thermal shock, featuring smooth surfaces free from gaps or joints that could compromise hygiene.
The supports are also designed to deliver maximum structural reliability, reducing wear and the risk of premature failure, even under the most demanding operating conditions.
A distinctive element of our portfolio is our range of high-temperature castors. These are advanced technical solutions, indispensable for production environments exposed to prolonged heat or intensive thermal cycles.
The range includes castors made from thermosetting phenolic resin, versions with rubber tread and glass-fibre-reinforced Polyamide 6 cores, as well as silicone rubber models with aluminium cores or steel flanges. These configurations ensure safe and reliable operation for applications reaching temperatures of up to +280°C.
The thermosetting materials used, such as phenolic, urea, and melamine resins, are ideally suited to severe thermal conditions. Unlike thermoplastic compounds, their rigidity increases with heat, preventing permanent deformation and ensuring long-term dimensional and mechanical stability.
AVO castors are available in diameters ranging from 80 to 250 mm and can be combined with medium-duty or heavy-duty supports. This modularity allows load capacities from 80 to 800 kg, depending on the selected configuration.
With AVO, food industry professionals can rely on components that enhance the efficiency and quality of their production processes, without ever compromising on final product safety.
AVO presents the new Heavy-Duty Stainless-Steel Castors: maximum corrosion resistance for critical environments
Avo expands its product portfolio with a new line of heavy-duty stainless-steel castors, engineered to deliver reliable and safe performance even under the most demanding operating conditions.
The range is designed for high-intensity food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications where high load capacities are required.
Manufactured entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel, this series offers superior resistance to corrosion, aggressive cleaning agents, and high-pressure washdowns. This makes it ideal for the food industry, the pharmaceutical sector, refrigerated-logistics environments, and all applications exposed to strong mechanical and chemical stress.
