Fritz Gelato Scoops Gold for Award-Winning Hazelnut Gelato

Published 4 August 2026

South Melbourne Market's beloved artisan gelateria has recently been awarded Gold at the Australian Dairy Industry Awards for its popular Hazelnut Gelato, further cementing its reputation as one of Australia's finest gelato makers.

To celebrate the win, Fritz Gelato has named Hazelnut its Flavour of the Month for August, giving customers the perfect excuse to try the gold medal-winning creation for themselves.

Made using premium ingredients, the award-winning Hazelnut Gelato delivers a rich, creamy flavour with the perfect balance of roasted hazelnuts and silky-smooth texture. It's a simple yet exceptional gelato that's won over both judges and customers alike.

The latest award is another impressive achievement for the Market favourite, which has a strong track record of success on the national stage.

Back in 2023, Fritz Gelato took home not one but two major awards at the Dairy Industry Association of Australia (DIAA) Awards of Excellence Gala Dinner. Their much-loved Coffee Rush Gelato won both the Beca Award for Highest Scoring Gelati and the IFF Award for Highest Scoring Frozen Product.

Coffee Rush Gelato combines the bold, aromatic notes of finely roasted coffee beans with an indulgently creamy gelato base. The result is a sophisticated frozen dessert that delivers a perfect balance of bittersweet coffee flavours and smooth, velvety richness in every spoonful.

These prestigious accolades reflect the passion, skill and commitment to quality that the team at Fritz Gelato brings to every batch they make.

Head down to Fritz Gelato in the Market Food Hall and treat yourself to a scoop of the Gold-winning Hazelnut Gelato.
