XO-ice, an Asian-born-Italian-made low-calorie gelato company, brings a new twist to sweets for Malaysians, delivering go-to gelatos for healthier alternatives.
Jennifer Lee, Co-Founder of XO-ice said, “When we started XO-ice, the main idea was freedom in indulgence. There is something genuinely freeing to be able to eat what you want, savour it and move on with your life.”
“XO-ice is a relatively new category of frozen dessert, and we see our key differentiator as delivering both the smooth texture and structure of gelato, as well as maintaining that high functional performance of low-calorie, low-sugar, low-fat, and high protein content. After all, our vision in creating a healthy gelato is for people to enjoy but also, live a healthy yet wholesome lifestyle,” she added.
The concept for XO-ice’s in Malaysia derives from the brand’s goal of promoting sweets that benefit its consumers’ nutritional, physical, mental, and emotional wellness. XO-ice intends to position the brand with the purpose to give healthy alternative sweet-treats to health-conscious Asian consumers, particularly Malaysians, by bringing Asian flavours tailored to their palates.
XO-ice reinvents the traditional dessert to match our modern lifestyle, offering gelatos that are 70% fewer in calories, eight to nine times less sugar, and 1.4 to 1.9 times more protein than usual.
As a brand that values inclusivity, XO-ice aims to ensure that as many of its consumers as possible may enjoy its gelatos, which is why it has strived to become vegetarian, GMO-free, and Halal-certified.
