Angelo Corvitto is an institution in the world of ice cream. Born in Sicily in 1943 but based in the Empordà region for practically his entire life, he was awarded the prestigious award for best ice cream maker in the world in 2006. A master and godfather to renowned pastry chefs such as Jordi Roca, throughout his career he has become renowned everywhere as a great promoter of the qualities and virtues of this typical summer dessert. Corvitto began making ice cream without pretension or great aspirations, self-taught, in a small workshop in Torroella de Montgrí in 1982. From this emerged his own brand—Helats Angelo—which is still operating today, with the same seal of quality and artisanal production, under the direction of his son, Hervé Corvit.
