Fiorgelato was first established in 1989 under a Filipino-Italian business venture, Milkin Corporation. The Company started as Designer’s Ice Cream Manufacturing Company created to formulate tailored ice cream products. This specially prepared ice cream catered well-known restaurants, hotels, and food chains in a “Private Labeling” arrangement.
Within the same year, the company was also granted exclusive rights from Italy to manufacture, sell and distribute FIORGELATO “The Pure Italian Ice Cream” for the Philippine market. It created a big following from the AB market, which made FIORGELATO “The Ice Cream of the Elite”.
September 1994, paved the way for the rebirth of Fiorgelato, under a new management, thus bringing back the Original Authentic Italian Ice Cream, which is famous for being the only ice cream made from 100% pure fresh milk and with the highest quality of imported ingredients from Italy.
Presently, the company has penetrated various institutions like schools, exhibit halls, restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, bake shops, office lounges and scooping stations. Through this, Designer’s Ice Cream Company has gained continuous acceptance from its previous clients and now receiving positive responses from its new food & restaurant outlets. And because of this, the Company produces nothing but the best “Premium – Quality Ice Cream”.

The company has effectively established its Scooping Counters as a scheme of its Franchise Program.
