The event entirely dedicated to the best artisanal ice cream in Berlin is coming back, the Berlin Ice Cream Week 2022.
Cassata Siciliana, buffalo milk ice cream with focaccia pieces and pistachio pesto topping, saffron cream variegated with amaretto powder, butter ice cream with blueberry jam and homemade bread, sour cherries, coffee and brownie ice cream, raspberry with ginger, sesame & orange, coconut liquorice swirl… If you have never tasted such creative ice cream flavours, the Berlin Ice Cream Week is the perfect occasion: it involves 37 of the best artisanal ice cream parlours of the city and will take place from May 5th to 11th 2022. It’s always the right time for a good, tasty and high quality ice cream, and the event is a great occasion not only for the most gluttonous: a photo contest on instagram will give everyone the chance to win a stay for two in Rome or Milan, while tasting at least 5 flavours of the event you can win a 50 € ice cream voucher.

Berlin Ice Cream Week, how it works
We selected 37 among the best artisanal ice cream parlours in Berlin and asked them to create a special flavour specifically for this event, living vent to their creativity and using original ingredients. And there is more: during the whole week of the event, the special flavour will cost only 1€ per scoop. Attending will be just as easy as eating an ice cream: you just need to go to one of the participating ice cream parlours (you will find the full list at the end of this article) and ask for the special flavour of the Berlin Ice Cream Week. In order to meet all the needs, a lot of the flavours are vegan. Match the flavour with one of the classics or continue your ice cream journey going to the next ice cream parlour.
Berlin Ice Cream Week, the map of the participating ice cream parlours
Do you want to find out where the participating ice cream parlours are? They are all represented in a map of Berlin together with the closest underground station, so you can find them at a first glance. You can find the paper map soon in any of the participating ice cream parlours or in the True Italian office in Gryphiusstraße 26, Friedrichshain. You can also download the online version as a PDF. If you prefer a digital map, have a look at the Google Map.
Berlin Ice Cream Week, the sticker contest
The Berlin Ice Cream Week offers two different contests, one online and one offline. Let’s start with the offline one: in this case it is more important than ever grabbing the paper map, as every time you visit an ice cream parlour during the event you can ask for the corresponding small sticker and stick it next to the name of the ice cream parlour. If you collect at least 5 (from 5 different ice cream parlours) send a photo to the email address trueitaliancontest@gmail.com by May 15th at 11 PM and thus participate in the extraction for a 50 € worth ice cream voucher to be consumed in one of the ice cream parlours of the event of your choice. The extraction will be done online on the social media channels of True Italian on May 18th at 6 PM.
Berlin Ice Cream Week, the Instagram contest
On the other hand, the online contest is a photo contest on Instagram. When you visit one of the ice cream parlours, take a creative and original picture of the ice cream or of yourself while eating it. Post the picture on your Instagram account before May 15th at 11 PM with the hashtag #berlinicecreamweek and tagging @trueitalianfood. You could win a stay for two in Rome or Milan. You can find more information in this article or on True Italian’s social media channels.
Berlin Ice Cream Week, organisers and partners

Why prefer artisanal ice cream to industrial one?
When we enter a bar or an ice cream parlour, our attention is immediately caught by the appearance and presentation of the ice cream tray in the freezer. Usually it is not so difficult to distinguish the industrial production, more showy and with more ‘fake’ colours, from the artisanal one with a much simpler and more natural appearance. Artisanal ice cream is produced in small quantities, is usually prepared with fresh milk and fresh fruit without additives and treatments, and is sold directly to the consumer. This is why artisanal ice cream is associated with a more domestic, fresh and genuine flavour. With our event we want to celebrate the quality of artisanal ice cream.
