While exploring the historic center of Olbia, discovering local flavors is part of the experience. Among the lively streets and charming squares of the city, one stop that locals and visitors truly love is Gelateria Da Brivido, an artisan gelateria known for its dedication to natural ingredients and creative flavors.

At the heart of the project is Michela Ischiboni, whose passion for artisan gelato and continuous research for high-quality ingredients led her to bring her experience and techniques to the city of Olbia. For Michela, being an artisan means entering the laboratory every day with curiosity, dedication and creativity, transforming simple ingredients into unique recipes.

Her philosophy is clear: few ingredients, carefully selected, and a constant search for quality.

The gelato is made using fresh products and natural ingredients, without preservatives or artificial emulsifiers. The goal is to create a gelato that is genuine, balanced and enjoyable for everyone — light, authentic and full of flavor.

Another detail that reflects this philosophy is the attention to dietary needs: all cones are gluten-free, carefully selected so that the difference is almost imperceptible — except for the lightness and digestibility of the product.

Alongside classic Italian flavors, the gelateria offers surprising combinations that reflect Michela’s creativity and craftsmanship.

Our favorite flavors

During our visits, some flavors immediately stood out for their originality and balance:

- Pumpkin, chili and ginger with amaretti – a bold and unexpected mix of sweetness and spice.

- Ricotta and sour cherries – creamy and slightly tangy, inspired by traditional Italian desserts.

- Ricotta, honey and walnuts – delicate, rich and perfectly balanced.

Each flavor tells the story of a careful selection of ingredients and a passion for artisan gelato.
