Gelato Papa – Marrying traditional techniques with modern flavours to create beautiful all-natural gelato bases from scratch every day.

This means every ingredient of every base – from chocolate, coconut and yoghurt to gorgonzola cheese, Nutella and black honeycomb – is carefully chosen, measured, mixed and churned with precision. You won’t find artificial packet pastes and tinned flavours here. Their calculations must be completely, utterly perfect to ensure the dreamiest of gelato experiences.
