From the heart of Italy to the Bay Area, Almare Gelato is redefining the gelato experience. Founded by Alberto Malvestio in 2008, inspired by his great uncle's legendary gelato recipes, the company began as a small operation in Berkeley. In 2012, Simone Arpaio joined as co-owner, bringing fresh ideas and energy that propelled Almare into the wholesale market, supplying some of the best restaurants from Palo Alto to Sacramento. Today, they continue to craft traditional Italian gelato every morning, with signature flavors like toasted almond and caramelized figs, lavender and fresh blueberries, and more. oaklandside.org+10berkeleyside.org+10discoveredinberkeley.com+10
