About us
Porrelli is a luxury Italian style ice cream manufacturer based in Paisley, Scotland, providing ice cream and frozen goods to both the catering and retail markets. We are known for innovation within the industry, combining modern trends with traditional flavours, our most popular products being our Scottish Tablet Ice Cream and Iron Brew Ice Cream. The company was established by Gerardo Porrelli in 1925 when he immigrated to Scotland from San Biagio in Southern Italy. He settled in Paisley with his family and began to produce delicious ice cream using traditional recipes brought from his homeland. We proudly entered our 100th year in 2025 and Porrelli is still very much a family business. The current Managing Director, Dario Durante is the great grandson of the founder Gerardo and he is supported by his father Enzo and mother Ines. Together they lead a very passionate team that is committed to delivering quality and service that has seen generations of people across Scotland enjoy Porrelli Ice Cream. In January 2008 Porrelli moved production of their high quality Italian style ice cream to their ‘state of the art’ ice cream factory. Upgraded equipment and processes has increased capacity to over 6000 litres of delicious ice cream every day. It is this secret family recipe that has been handed down through the family over the years that has helped Porrelli to win numerous industry awards. And these in turn have helped to establish the brand as being trusted and respected for its quality throughout the catering trade, frozen wholesalers, cash & carrkes and multiple retailers. Porrelli have a fleet of refrigerated vehicles that travel across the central belt of Scotland, delivering a diverse and delicious range of ice creams, premium Italian gateaux, frozen desserts, sundries and savoury food products to the catering market. We work in partnership with other wholesalers and cover almost the whole of Scotland from the Isles to the Borders.

Just returned from an incredible visit to the Tetra Pak factory in Aarhus. A huge thank you to Mark Gudgeon for the invite and hospitality. Seeing the precision, efficiency and sheer scale of the machinery was truly impressive. The knowledge shared, from machine functionality and servicing to recipe formulation was invaluable and will be used to improve what we do at Porrelli. It’s always inspiring to witness innovation first hand, and this trip was a perfect reminder of how cutting-edge engineering and smart design come together to create solutions that impact industries worldwide.

What a day at the Ice Cream and Artisan Food Show at The NEC, Birmingham. Yesterday was filled with exciting discoveries, from cutting-edge equipment to innovative new flavours. It was great to see so many passionate members of industry come together, share ideas and explore the latest trends in the ice cream world. Thanks to all of our suppliers for their hard work on their respective stands and to the ICA for shaking up the show from previous years. We are looking forward to the season ahead and hopefully introducing Scotland to the trends on show yesterday 🍦
