Picture this: every year, Americans consume more than 1 billion burritos. It’s safe to say that we have a deep love for these flavorful and filling creations. But what if we told you that there’s a different kind of delight waiting for you? A creamy, heavenly treat straight from Italy, known as Fior di Latte Gelato. Brace yourself for a taste sensation that will transport you to the charming streets of Italy, right here in Hagerstown.
Fior di Latte Gelato isn’t your average gelato shop. It’s a culinary oasis nestled in Fountain Head Plaza, offering an array of authentic Italian gelato flavors that will leave you craving for more. Led by owner Adriana Tinto, who honed her gelato-making skills at Gelato University in Italy, Fior di Latte Gelato is a labor of love and a tribute to the art of gelato making.
A Taste of Authentic Gelato
At Fior di Latte Gelato, customers can experience the authentic taste of Italian gelato. The gelato is made using traditional techniques that result in a smoother and denser texture compared to ice cream. The ingredients used are similar to ice cream, including fresh milk, cream, and sugar, but the gelato is churned at a slower pace, reducing the amount of air that is incorporated. This creates a denser and creamier texture. Fior di Latte sources fresh ingredients locally for the base of the gelato, while flavorings and other ingredients are imported from Italy.
In addition to gelato, we also serve a variety of coffee options, including espresso, cappuccino, and American-brewed coffee. Our commitment to quality extends to our coffee, ensuring that every sip is a delight. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic gelato flavor or a rich cup of espresso, Fior di Latte Gelato offers an authentic Italian experience.

Gelato Bliss – From Italy to Hagerstown
The journey of Fior di Latte Gelato from Italy to Hagerstown is a testament to our passion and dedication. As the owner, Adriana Tinto, I grew up in Italy with a deep love for gelato. I wanted to bring the authentic taste of Italian gelato to the United States, and that’s how Fior di Latte was born.
To ensure the authenticity of our gelato, I attended Gelato University in Italy for training and worked as an apprentice in Civitanova Marche, learning the art of making gelato from the best in the business. It was a transformative experience that allowed me to refine my techniques and create gelato that captures the true essence of Italian flavors.
Imported ingredients play a crucial role in achieving the authentic taste of Italian gelato. Through partnerships with two Italian companies based in Florida and North Carolina, we import flavorings, chocolate, hazelnuts, almonds, and pistachios directly from Italy. These high-quality ingredients are carefully selected to ensure the exceptional taste and texture of our gelato.
While our focus is on serving customers at our authentic gelato shop in Hagerstown, we also offer a gelato delivery service.
