Black Dog Gelato is a gelato producer based in Chicago, Illinois, operating within the food and beverage services industry. Its origins trace back to 2007, when Jessica Oloroso, a Chicago native and former pastry chef, began making gelato after an extended trip through Italy and renting space in a shared kitchen. Oloroso's work has attracted media attention, including features on Food Network's Unique Sweets and DIY Network's Food Porn, and the gelato has appeared in several best-of lists. The company serves customers seeking artisanal frozen desserts and operates on a small, craft-oriented scale in Chicago, Illinois. A notable development in its recent history is the 2020 launch of Featured Four-Packs, a product initiative designed to showcase multiple flavors.
