A SPRINKLE OF HISTORY
The Capocci family has been making premium, Italian-style ice cream in their home town of Airdrie since 1926.
Vincent Capocci started the family ice cream business from a tiny backstreet shop and by 1948 had opened a factory. Vincent became a pillar of Airdrie’s Italian community and subsequently earned the nickname ‘Man in the White Hat’. When son Ernest joined the business, he coined ‘The Capocci Man’ name and ran a fleet of over 50 ice cream vans with his father.
SECRET RECIPE
A closely guarded family secret since 1926… Ernest and a select few trusted hands are the only people who know it. Crafted through years of expertise and made using only the finest ingredients. Every batch delivers that unmistakable ‘Capocci’ flavour!
Still made the same way today. Still only found in Airdrie and a handful of selected outlets
