ITALIAN EXPERTISE, NEW POSSIBILITIES: LEAGEL AT ICE CREAM CHINA EXPO 2026

Leagel will take part in Ice Cream China Expo 2026, from 16 to 18 September in Tianjin, together with its local distributor Guangzhou, bringing a selection of solutions developed for both the artisan and industrial ice cream sectors.

China represents an increasingly important market for Leagel. Over the past few years, the company has been strengthening its presence in the country, building relationships and developing new opportunities in a market with significant potential for the ice cream industry.

Two sectors, one approach to innovation

At Ice Cream China Expo, Leagel will showcase solutions that reflect the breadth of its product development, combining established flavour profiles with new interpretations inspired by international influences and evolving consumer preferences.

For the artisan gelato sector, the selection will include some of the most recognisable flavours of the Italian gelato tradition, such as Hazelnut and Pistachio, alongside more distinctive interpretations designed to offer professionals new creative possibilities.

Pistachio, in particular, will be explored through different applications, including Pistachio Pesto, demonstrating how a familiar ingredient can become the starting point for a more unexpected flavour experience.

Another highlight will be the Cremino Gelato: a concept based on alternating a layer of gelato with a layer of spreadable cream specifically developed for gelato applications. Proposals such as Dubai Chocolate and Speculoos bring international flavour influences into the display case, offering a contemporary interpretation of a format with strong visual and creative potential.

The selection will also include fruit-based combinations enhanced with spices, developed to add depth and complexity to familiar fruit profiles and create a distinctive twist in flavour.

For the industrial ice cream sector, Leagel will present a dedicated selection built around key flavour pillars including Vanilla, Toffee, Gianduia and Pistachio. These profiles represent versatile foundations for industrial applications, supported by Leagel’s expertise in flavour development and formulation.

Innovation designed for the market

For Leagel, innovation starts with understanding how the market is evolving.

The company’s product development process combines research, experimentation and application, exploring new flavour directions while maintaining a strong focus on the practical needs of professionals and manufacturers.

This approach is particularly relevant in an international market such as China, where global influences meet distinctive local preferences and where the ice cream sector continues to evolve.

From classic flavours to contemporary combinations, from artisan gelato to industrial applications, Leagel brings its Italian expertise to Tianjin with solutions designed to open up new possibilities for the ice cream industry.
