Brazil: Seletti and Diletto form partnership for low-calorie desserts

Brasil Alimentos reports that Seletti Health Food Company, which has a network of franchise outlets specialized in healthy eating, and Diletto Company, which produces handmade ice creams, have signed a new partnership for the launch of Seletti Ice Cream.

The ice creams were specially developed by Diletto for Seletti and will go on sale in the food courts of shopping centres across the country.  The two exclusive flavours created are Chocolate, with only 82 calories, and Forest Fruit, which has only 58 calories.

According to Marcella Quattrucci, a nutritionist at Seletti, the ingredients used are of top quality and also have ‘Nutri RG’ accreditation for their nutritional value. "This is really a dessert to enjoy without guilt,” Quattrucci said. “They have been designed especially for the summer time when the body craves lighter and more refreshing foods. On the hottest days, surely we all want to be able to enjoy an ice cream without compromise”.

The ice creams are already available in 31 Seletti stores across Brazil. It is expected that across the whole chain around 10,000 units will be sold every month.
