Our Journey of Crafting History
Our story began with a collection of passionate, family-founded dessert companies, each bringing its own specialty and tradition to the table.
The foundation of Indulge Desserts was originally laid in 1993 by entrepreneur John Alair Garcia when he started Taste it Presents. The vision was to produce authentic Italian desserts in the USA.
Together with long-time VP of Research and Development, Paula Perlis, John Alair Garcia has had a decisive influence on the impressive development of the company, adding the Cannoli Factory by acquisition.
Later, as Indulge Desserts, additional companies were added to the Group: Love & Quiches, Elegant Desserts and Joey’s.
In 2020, that legacy became part of the Emmi family, connecting our deep American dessert heritage with Emmi’s growing global dessert network. Today, as Emmi Desserts USA, we bring together generations of American craftsmanship and international inspiration to create desserts that delight customers across foodservice and retail.
Today, we unite all our heritage, brands, and expertise under one single name: Emmi Desserts. More than a rebranding, it is the fulfillment of our journey. With 20 production sites and a presence in over 65 countries, we are now one global team, guided by one purpose:
Crafted to Make You Smile.
