THE PHILOSOPHY
High Quality Natural Gelato
Only very high quality primary products for my Gelato.
The key words are:
Territory
Research and valorization of the products of the territory
Seasonal nature
Care to use seasonal products, especially fruit and flowers
Excellences
Selection of excellence products, of PDO and PGI
Simple and genuine primary products like raw milk from red spotted cow, cream and fresh eggs
Biological fresh fruit perfectly ripe, low mineral content water
Selections of the best dry fruit (Hazel nuts PGI from Piedmont, the Pistachio from Bronte, Pine kernels from Pisa, the Gemella Pizzuta Almond from Avola), Gran Cru Ecuador Chocolate 70%, torrone…
… the suggestion of spices (cardamom, anise, Bengala black pepper, turmeric, vanilla, ginger..), infusions, and aromatic herbs
When you know the nature of a primary product deeply you can transform it the way you like, with it you can create, there are no more limits to its use
GELATO
The High Quality Natural Gelato is the sugar-free Gelato, novelty of 2015. Forty-eight flavours sweetened only with Stevia Rebaudiana. Just primary products, without companies manufacturing semi finished products and mixes. Without hydrogenated fats, chemical emulsifiers and artificial food coloring.

The Puro® Gelato is the result of the challenge of creating, far from market policies and companies manufacturing semi finished products, a kind of Gelato without milk and by-products, gluten free and without sugar. Puro® is conceived for those who suffer of milk intolerance, people who suffer of celiac disease, diabetics and for those who follow vegan feeding, without being compelled to renounce good, creamy and obviously healthy and high quality Gelato.
Oro Selection is a Gelato made with a selection of dry fruit chosen amongst the best territory excellence products, PGI and POD: the Pistachio from Bronte, Hazel nuts PGI from Piedmont, the Gemella Pizzuta Almond from Avola, Pine kernels from Pisa, the Walnut from Sorrento.

The great satisfaction in my job is giving birth to a great smile in a child’s eyes, aware that what I do procures a moment of pleasure
