With the Emmi Desserts PowerHouse, we are building a globally leading position for innovative premium desserts and patisserie.
Our strategy combines targeted internationalisation with selected niches in fast-growing markets. The Emmi Group started to build its dessert expertise more than ten years ago with strategic acquisitions in Italy focussing on traditional premium desserts such as tiramisu. This was followed by the company’s entry to the US market in 2020. With the acquisition of the B Corp-certified Mademoiselle Desserts Group in 2024, we made decisive progress towards European market leadership and international scalability. Today, the Emmi Desserts PowerHouse comprises Mademoiselle Desserts, Emmi Dessert Italia, Pasticceria Quadrifoglio and Emmi Dessert USA under one roof.
This results in a unique premium dessert portfolio – from tiramisu, lava cakes and cheesecakes to mini beignets – and a strong retail presence including in‐store bakery as well as food service in almost 50 countries. At the end of 2025, the Emmi Group strengthened its innovative dessert portfolio by acquiring “The English Cheesecake Company Ltd.”, a popular premium cheesecake brand in the British retail sector. It will leverage this global trend product to strengthen its position as category captain.
The Emmi Desserts PowerHouse relies on creative innovation hubs operated by its global teams. Teams from all companies develop successful concepts together and then quickly scale them into new markets. Examples include the successful roll-out of the international trend-setting lava cake as well as mini beignets in the USA.
Premium desserts address consumer trends of balanced indulgence, natural ingredients and convenience. The dessert concepts also address the five key growth areas for the Group as a whole: Balanced Indulgence, Food as it should be, Casual Food, Holistic Health and Green Power. Our innovations are based on natural ingredients as well as creative flavour combinations – presented in a high-quality way with minimal packaging material. The individual dessert creations developed in partnership with customers reflecting their brand identity are a particular highlight.
Mademoiselle Desserts was B Corp recertified in 2025 (following initial certification in 2022) and sets dessert standards with its programmes such as Nutri M, Clean M and Pack M. The improved nutritional profile is consistently implemented within recipes: more fibre, less sugar, less salt and less saturated fatty acids. Mademoiselle Desserts also uses sustainable packaging solutions, cutting down on packaging material as well as non-recyclable components and uses recycled and recyclable plastics as well as FSC-certified cardboard.
