The Foundation of PreGel
In the small garage of his home, Dr. Rabboni painstakingly labored to invent Orange Fortefrutto®
The legacy of PreGel began with Dr. Luciano Rabboni—the nephew of an avid gelato maker and a chemist. Young Rabboni took notice of local gelato makers struggling to maintain a high-quality product to sell. Their products melted easily and the flavoring was inconsistent. In the small garage of his home, Dr. Rabboni painstakingly labored to invent Orange Fortefrutto® (fruit-based paste for flavoring artisanal frozen desserts), which he, with his wife Elena, initially sold out of the trunk of their car. This show of dedication and drive resulted in great success. Half a century later, Dr. Rabboni is still the driving force behind the family-owned company that umbrellas a network of PreGel subsidiaries, International Training Centers, and distribution centers worldwide, including those of PreGel America.
