Spaghettieis ( German pronunciation: ) is a German ice cream dish made to resemble a plate of spaghetti. “Spaghetti Eis: Creative German Cuisine.” Young Germany. “Spaghettieis – Spaghetti Ice Cream Sundae from Germany.” About. “Il Tizio Spaghetti Eis featuring vanilla ice cream topped with strawberry sauce and white chocolate bits is produced by Osnabruck, Germany-based R&R Ice Cream Deutschland GmbH.” Quick Frozen Foods International July 2009: 8. The German culture wouldn’t be the same without Spaghetti Eis. Since the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, the German ice cream market has a “booming net worth of 2.7 billion dollars, which is more than the ice cream industry in any other European country” (Stewart). Thanks to people like Dario, ice cream has been revolutionized throughout Germany and the rest of the world. The cultural significance cannot be understated within the community when analyzing the effects of Spaghetti Eis. When family is together and eating ice cream, the only feeling that one can feel is joy. The ice cream is a symbol for togetherness and joy because of how it brings family together (Stewart). This dessert is one of the most popular dishes within the German culture here in America. The impact Spaghetti Eis has had cannot be measured only in Germany, but in many other countries as well. My grandma got the recipe from a friend of her Mom’s, and my family has distributed it with our German friends her in America. I have some family from Germany, and when Spaghetti Eis was in its infancy of popularity, families from Germany were spreading the word to their fellow Germans in America. My family is closely associated with other German families, and German food recipes are always being shared. Spaghetti Eis, a staple of the German culture, is constantly present in my life and in many other Germans in America. His role within the Mannheim community cannot be misplaced, and he truly believes that the Fontanella brand will be present for many years to come. In a time of newness being needed within the company, he invented Spaghetti Eis, and his family past time has carried on with his name as the face of the organization (Stewart). Dario wanted to separate himself from his families past, and he decided to start an ice cream brand of his own. His family has been involved in the ice cream business for over 100 years, the majority of which they stayed in Mannheim (Stewart).
Today, Dario runs the business known as Eis Fontanella Eismanufaktur Mannheim. Mannheim is known as the city of inventors, and this award shows high praise for Dario. In 2014, “Fontanella was awarded the Bloomaulorden, the highest citizen’s award in Mannheim” (Stewart). Another interesting fact about Dario, he was only 18 years old when he created Spaghetti Eis. He decided to keep the vanilla cream base without adding color. His research on the product gave feedback on how he should enhance the image to make the look more appealing to his customers. The colors were supposed to be a symbol for the Italian flag being green, yellow, and red however, the feedback on the green ice cream was negative (Stewart). When Dario Fontanella was in the designing process of the product, he originally wanted the dish to resemble his Italian heritage. I know that when it is my birthday I request either Spaghetti Eis or a traditional Chocolate pie. It shows a sign of German pride when one indulges in the Eis.
In Germany and in many German cultures, Spaghetti Eis is commonly served at birthday parties and large family gatherings. When Spaghetti Eis was new to the market, it caused a number of children to cry because they couldn’t wrap their brains around the image that the ice cream presented (Stewart). The strawberry sauce represents the tomato sauce, and the shredded white chocolate resembles Parmesan. The design of the dessert is supposed to resemble that of actual spaghetti. The ice cream is topped with strawberry sauce and shaved white chocolate as added to it (Quick Frozen Foods International). These noodles are arranged into a bed of whipped cream. The vanilla ice cream is put through a chilled Spätzle press to form the noodle ice cream. Bridging his Italian heritage into the German culture, he pressed the ice cream into a noodle-based shape (Stewart). Dario, an ice cream factory owner, wanted to revolutionize the way ice cream was being produced.
His family migrated to Germany from a town outside of Venice in 1932 (Stewart). Dario Fontanella (Mannheim’s own Willy Wonka) invented the German dessert. Spaghetti Eis was first created in Mannheim, Germany in the late 1960’s (Stewart).
