Berlin Ice Cream Week, how it works
We selected 43 among the best artisanal ice cream parlours in Berlin and asked them to create a special flavour specifically for this event, leaving 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 1,50€ per scoop. Taking part 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 will have soon available the paper map 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 stamp 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 important to grab the paper map, as every time you visit an ice cream parlour during the event you can ask to put the corresponding small stamp 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 April 30th 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 3rd 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 April 26th at 11 PM with the hashtag #berlinicecreamweek, tag @trueitalianfood and indicate the ice cream shop where the photo was taken. You could win a stay for two in Pisa. You can find more information in this article or on True Italian’s social media channels.

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.
