THE COMPANY

Founded in 1959 as a laboratory for the production of distillates and liqueurs, Elenka soon shifted its production focus to semi-finished products for gelaterias. This change was driven by the success of a product initially intended for the alcohol sector, which quickly became an iconic gelato flavor: the Finest Extract of Zuppa Inglese, better known as Zuppa Inglese. The founder, Antonino Galvagno, demonstrated intuition, tenacity, and dedication, which led to many subsequent successes. Notably, the creation of balanced bases for gelato, such as Dariloi, facilitated the expansion to the current large-scale production facility in Partanna Mondello (PA).

Innovative roasting and processing systems for premium raw materials, such as Italian hazelnuts and Etna pistachios, resulted in the award-winning La Nocciola and Pistacchio OroVerde® pastes. Products inspired by Sicilian specialties, like the Cassata Siciliana paste and the more recent Nero Modicano with Modica chocolate I.G.P., have garnered significant acclaim. Simultaneously, the pastry sector has also seen important successes.

Today, Elenka exports to over 40 countries across all continents while preserving its artisanal character and innovative spirit. The company focuses on valuing Sicilian and Italian territories and embracing sustainability with new lines of natural origin products, aiming to meet contemporary market challenges.
