MEO, the consumer segment brand of Altice Portugal, has joined forces with Santini, the oldest artisanal ice cream brand in Portugal, and the new MEO Picolini was born.

The merging of the two identities gives rise to this new creation, supported by the image and creativity developed by the SUMO agency.

Santini, which expanded its offering with the creation of a new range of artisanal and 100% natural fruit popsicles, the Picolini, which include vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free options, specifically developed five flavors as part of MEO's "Savor More" campaign.

MEO Picolini flavors honor traditional options like pineapple and coconut, move on to bolder flavors like white chocolate and passion fruit, fresh ones like yogurt with lime, and end with lime-lemon.
