Kathmandu. Sanjay Agrawal, President of Nepal-Italy Chamber of Commerce (NICCI), has launched a premium gelato brand ‘Nuts and Scoop’ inspired by Italian style in Sanepa, Lalitpur.

Founded by Monica Taparia and Bipin Atal, Nuts & Scoop aims to combine the traditional style of Italian gelato making with modern innovations to bring a premium taste experience to the Nepali market.
