DALLAS — Talenti Gelato e Sorbetto are introducing five new flavors to its line of all-natural gelatos.

The lineup, which includes chocolate peanut butter cup, banana chocolate swirl, black raspberry chocolate chip, chocolate chip Stracciatella and simply strawberry, are made from scratch using fresh milk (free of growth hormones), extra fine pure cane sugar and only all-natural ingredients, the company said.

Consumers can find Talenti's new gelato flavors at major retailers nationwide at a suggested retail price of $4.99 to $5.99.

New twists on classic candy brands helped propel dollar sales in the chocolate candy segment ahead nearly 10%. An increase in prices contributed to the dollar sales gain, but a big boost came from line extensions and limited-edition flavors.

“The old standbys are comfort brands for consumers, and manufacturers continue to trade off their following with new products,” said Lisbeth Echeandia, VP trade marketing of consulting firm Frey Enterprises.
