Everything You Wanted to Know About Gelato

What is gelato?

Gelato is the Italian word for Ice cream! It may seem similar to ice cream, but gelato is entirely from a different origin and production process.

Why is gelato a healthier choice than ice cream?

The main difference is the cream, or the lack thereof.

Our Gelato flavours only use authentic ingredients including fresh fruits, nuts, cocoa etc. There are no artificial flavours, and our products consist of genuine imported ingredients from Italy, thus, the consistency of our flavours is always the same.
