The goal of Giapo, Annarosa, and the members of the R&D kitchen is not just to add new flavors to ice cream, but to create ice cream that offers customers a completely new experience. In the past, they have even created an ice cream featuring a giant squid.

It took a lot of hard work to achieve this shape.

The two new creations that have resulted from their efforts are designed to fit on the fingertips, rather than in the hands, which is something that has never been done before. By inserting a different flavor of ice cream for each finger, you can have a new and exciting experience of "Which finger should I eat first? which finger will be the first to eat?

Giapo Grazioli describes the ice cream on the finger as follows: "We are looking at ice cream as it is today.

It is important to look at the present of ice cream, but it is even more important to imagine the future of ice cream. Wearing ice cream instead of holding it is pure fun. We want to pursue that essential fun without being bound by stereotypes."

Giapo Grazioli says, "I want to destroy people's concept of ice cream.
