Ownership
Unilever bought Talenti in 2014. Its ice cream unit was spun off as The Magnum Ice Cream Company in December 2025.
Why Watchlist
Talenti is named for Bernardo Buontalenti, the Florentine credited with inventing gelato, and uses Italian gelato styling. Its owner's brand page says founder Josh Hochschuler opened the first Talenti gelateria in Dallas in 2003. It has been made in Missouri since 2017.
